    Default How the hell do i drain the buckets completely for dwc????

    Can someone please help give me ideas on how to drain the buckets in the dwc. I have a rdwc system. The way Im draining it now is through the reservoir but it is still leaving a good amount in each of the individual buckets. I have tubes goin to each bucket and then to the reservoir. The buckets are all level and Ive tried stacking the buckets so the water drains to the reservoir but dont like the way the buckets are sitting on the foam blocks so i went back to being level. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

    Go get you A little Fish Air Pump, and pump the water where ever you want it to go.

    I have a fish air pump but it just pumps air in the buckets. I believe its being used as a form of oxygen for the plants. I get probably about 80 to 90 percent of the water out through the reservoir but it leaves small puddles at the bottom of the buckets still.

    I believe if you turn the hose around on one, it will draw water instead of pumping Air.
