good small submersible pump?

[Creesab]

Ok I am starting my own small (3-5) 5-gallon bucket hydro/aero system.

What is a good solid basic pump to use? I was looking at little giant brand but I am very open to any out there. You guys are the pro's and I really want your opinion. I am looking at 2 or 3 spray heads inside 3-5 (5 gallon) buckets - all coming from a source resvoir. Any one have any input for me?

what do you use?

when im running i use a pond pump from lowes,dont really remember the name brand but it was about 40 bucks.but i dont run aero,I run a recirculating DWC.

I guess that is what I mean DWC - with mist'rs on the roots...

[midwestbluntman]

no,if you are running misters then you are talking about aeroponics.mine is buckets full of water with air stones,and an airpump.I have a centrol resivior that all the buckets hook to and recirculate.

This is an aeroponic system

Ok ... I got ya.... pic is fine. thanks!!
I am working on kind of a combo.
a few 5 gallon buckets with a separate res bucket
I want the mesh pots with the rock to get sprayed every so often.
I guess I could use drip but the spray seems better
and of course tons o' air - bought a really good air pump
now I want a really good water pump
the water pump should be solid & have a good & easy to clean filter

someone must have some specific water pump info for me?
