FOODY F12 Assembly Manual

Congratulations on your purchase! Your Foody tower will provide years of fresh produce and healthy eating. But
first it must be assembled:) Following these assembly instructions is important for the proper operation of your
tower. We therefore recommend reading through all of the directions before actually beginning. If placing your
tower indoors set it near a large window or glass door so that it can receive good sunlight. Make sure it is on a
level surface.

Pump Setup:

Unpack the submersible pump (shown on right). Screw the smallest of the
3 fittings onto the top of the pump (far right photo). Make sure that the
Flow Control Valve at one end of the pump is open at least half way or
more. Turn it counterclockwise to open further if needed. (Note: The small
Aeration Kit that comes with the pump is not needed.)

Base Reservoir Setup:

Assembly of an F12 Hydroponic Tower
Before you begin:
Pictured at left is a tower that has been set up inside of a 26"
diameter pond liner. Doing this will help ensure that spilled water, leaves, etc. won't get on
your floor. We found these at Lowes for around $12.00 each. They may be available at
your local garden store as well. Anyway, here's a link:

Push one end of the black water hose onto the adapter on the pump then lay it on its side
on the bottom of the reservoir. Laying it on its side allows the pump to be moved easily
after water is in the reservoir. Placing it near an outside edge of the reservoir tank (as
shown) will help keep the hose from kinking.
Placing the lid onto the Base Reservoir: Be sure to align
the notch on the bottom side of the reservoir lid (photo
on left) with the inside slightly protruding edge of the
base reservoir (photo on right). This will correctly
position the lid and help it to fit more securely on the
reservoir.
Next, pull the water hose up through the large middle hole of the reservoir
lid. Open the access door that has a square corner and pull the pump cord
up through it. Carefully place the ball bearings (from the plastic dispenser
bottle) in the raceway around the center hole. (There are usually a few
extra left over.) Slide the white Rotational Wheel (has teeth around its
