Just looked at that. 2-3 gallons waste water, for every gallon pure water.

They may have said that, but only DWV. Just dropped ph to 5 (with DWV, but less than I have used), and will see what happens tomorrow. Maybe it is normalizing.

It was not the temperature. Any other suggestions?????

I have had no problems with an ebb and flow system, which is fairly stable. Temperature does not seem to be problem. Went from 5.5 to 8.3 in 24 hours.

What happens above 75 degrees???

Will try to get some pic's later. Using a 360 gph pump, with a pvc rig, with red spray heads (18). I am thinking the water temp. What does it do being too high?? Cause bacteria??

Sample I took today at 6 pm, was 78 degrees. Cloner is in shade, but on gravel which could cause too much ambient heat in the area. Have thought about putting it in a hole, up to the lid. which is what I do with ebb and flow. Need to do a few chores, will back back soon. Thanks for the help!!!

No airstone, tap water 280 ppm. It is the sterlite 54 gallon.

Any thoughts on cleaning the netpots? As last resort, I may spray them with hydrogen peroxide, and rinse off.

FYI, the water turns cloudy. Also, every plant that has died, the stem below the neoprene insert, has liquified. Really do not want to start over. Will clean it again now, take out every netpot and clean the top, and maybe the net pots. DO neoprene inserts need to be run through a dishwasher...

There were some small holes for clip on latches. Used Premium waterproof silicone from HD, which said it could be used for plumbing, so hoping it is safe for exposure to drinking water.

Distilled white vinegar. Went through a 1/4 gallon in a week. It is outdoors in mostly shade (3 hours tops, late afternoon sun), but it has been in 90's frequently, recently.

Tap water is 280 PPM, it is 300 higher, 580 ppm. My ebb and flow system has no problems, up to 1500 PPM.

I have had a lot of PH problems with a homemade cloner. If I PH adjust the thing with new water, within 24 hours the PH goes from 5.5 to 8. I washed out the whole thing (except the top and net pots) with fresh water, dryed it with a towel, sprayed with 10% bleach, hosed it out several times, and...

I just had the same problem again, after running straight water in it for 2 days. I have never had a problem with chemical fertilizers, screwing up PH.

That is what I have been looking for, but hard to find at home depot. Most are for sealing around counters and showers. For PVC there is cement, but want to disassemble for cleaning. Not sure if silicone products (which are abundant) are safe. Have read many packages that talk of dangers from...

Would home depot have that? Would that be one of those dual syringes?? Thanks.

Building an aeroponic vinyl fence post rig tonight. Instead of running the water in through the cap, want to go through the top. Want to be able to disassemble for inspection and cleaning. Was going to use the painters tape on the pvc pipe going into the vinyl fence, where the feed goes into the...

Could you give me an example of one??? Thanks for the info!!!!!

Is painters tape bad to come in contact with hydro solution?
