    Smile Drip feed system coco help!

    Hi everybody,, I have set up a drip feed for my first coco grow, my usual method is nft just haven't got the room for tank anymore 😦, but running into some problems with the drip system i have, when the pump turns off water just keeps flowing through the lines, it's not the sifuling effect as my out pipe is at the bottom of the 120l tank ,I'm thinking it could be to do with pressure,, ..can anyone help me with this.? thanks milk

    How long are the feed lines? If it's not siphoning from the reservoir then there must be loads of water remaining in the piping.

    I put a 4mm elbow in piping from my pump, just above the max reservoir fill. I lost some pressure using this but when the pump switches off this elbow empties the system pretty quickly and cuts any siphoning.

    Do you have a non return valve anywhere?
