So, ive built a drain table type thing for my plants, so when i water, it goes to a hose and down the drain..
my problem is , the piece i used isnt working as planned, the water is puddling up near it and not really going down the hose.

any suggestions? thanks

How about placing a thick piece of plywood with a 1" rise at the far end, then place the liner on top of that.
not quite sure what you mean, as to why im not using trays is i want to fill the room and have not to worry about excess water when i flush etc, i want it all to go down the drain, its just got a bit of a lip at the moment and wont go down

Sorry, as a false floor.
 
I always tilt one end and on the other end near the drain I run a bead of silicone on each side to guide water to the drain
 
Google ebb and flo fitting and you'll see many, or boat store and get a thru hull fitting.
even with the thrull hull fitting there will be a bit of a gap? they had these at the hydro store aswell but i thought what i bought would be better as it has a sliver drain aswell, but dosnt work i guess idk.. lol, all the water piles up where it should, just doesnt go down....
bleh. im stumped lol
 
maybe thin piece of cloth that goes from the pond of water to the drain,
like a wick that will drain the water over the lip of bulkhead

ha, thats a neat idea, but id kinda like something to get rid of it faster, there must be a way..

it all slants to the hole with the fitting i have there.. once it puddles up it starts piling up the sides.

there must be somethin i can do to get it outa there lol
