Hi: I have mine that I just put in for my new storage building, I used 12 - 100' lengths of 6" PVC flex drain pipe. The pipes all run in parallel. This summer will be the first. I plan on hanging 3" dia chlorine tablets at the air inlet and put enough tablets in to make the incoming air at about the same level that you get around a YMCA pool. The air goes in and out, no recirc.. If that doesn't work or seems un necessary, I will just flush them going into Summer and leaving Summer with a Clorox solution... Plastic is light, fairly cheap and easy to work with...

How has your earth tube worked out?
How did you determine how long and big your tubes would be?
