    Well this is my second attempt at making my own ATO. I'm trying to do the soda bottle version, except with a deer park water jug.

    I know i have to make 2 holes for each airline tubing, one at the top and one at the bottom, and glue each section of tubing, inside the holes, but what else do i have to do? thanks

    As far as I know that's all you have to do. I think the key to these is to be sure the bottle is 100% air tight. If it's not, your water will slowly leak out.

    Is this going to be gravity fed or pump?
