Water Problem in the Grow Room
I have a story to tell you…about a water problem! Now, this story is of a girl and she has to get water to her inside grow room. There are lots of plants in the grow room… I mean a LOT of plants! Here is a picture so you can see how serious I am.(sorry for the pink background, it’s from my grow lights.) For those of you who don’t know I am a full-time wheelchair user and have faced the difficult chore of watering all of my plants. My husband, Ron normally brings in 5 gallon buckets of water. I would scoop and pour water into each section. It took a lot of time and was very messy. Usually, I ended up mopping the floor after every watering. There had to be a better way!
Seeing The Water Problem
It just so happens that my grow room is right next to the bathroom. My wonderful husband (I hope he reads this so he knows I’m giving him public recognition!). Knew how difficult the watering chore was. He decided to fix the water problem. He was able to splice into the cold water line connection from the shower and run a water line into the grow room! If you would like to see part 1 of how he did that check it out here.
Fixing The Water Problem
This is an easy DIY project that many homeowners can do themselves. After a trip to the local hardware story or a quick shopping trip to Amazon for cpvc line, elbows, tees, ball values, hose adapters, primer and glue (affiliate links to above for parts) we are working on getting a permanent waterline into the grow room.

If you would like to see how Ron used all of the parts to create a permanent water line into my grow room you can subscribe to our YouTube channel to keep up with the water problem in the grow room.
