    I'm going to be running drip clean from plant magic from now on mate it can be used alongside main feed and apparently breaks down salt residue in the medium alot better alongside keeping pipes clean. Will let you know how it goes.

    Hey scoobs . Dont forget to put an Anti siphon if the bucket water level goes higher then the plant drippers . Otherwise it will continue to drip .

    A good way for this is to T off as you leave your bucket with a throttle valve that shoots back into the feed bucket . It breaks the siphonning .

    By doing this you can have a reservoir that extends many meters above your plant pots if you want . If ya want a schematic diagram i can draw ya one .

    You want the siphon break hole as far up the 13mm mainline as possible mate. The reason for it is to allow air back into the system breaking the siphon effect.

    That's a rough sketch any questions just ask away mate.
