after you have everything dry, and clean, put a hose from the return nozzle to on of the holes in the bucket for drainage, and another tube from the pump, threw the other hole in the lid to the manifold, to your plants. plug in the pump to a timer, and add plants. you may have to tip your planter so the water flows down to the drainage nozzle, and you can take a paper clip, and bend it and cut it to hold your drip feed tube to a small cube of rockwool, because otherwise they are hard to keep in place, for larger rockwool cubes there are little stakes you can get that 1/4 in line will clip into, that do a good job of holding it. but basically after the preparation of everything the whole thing goes together really easily.
After you get your system together, mix your nutrients correctly for the size of your plant(s), and your ready to go, it will water itself however often you want it to with the use of a timer (mine waters every 2 hours for 15 minutes, but you can go as little as once or twice a day)
