Who said dabs aren't dangerous? I beg to differ.
Needed 2 back to back just to forget the pain. Lol

A vacuume break is basically a small leak downstream of the pump back to the rest. Usually just a small T in the discharge hose. When the pump shuts off it allows air in preventing siphoning.
So how exactly does the water flow to the single line ran to the reservoir w

Can't even see the irrigation system anymore. Lol it's in there I swear!
Just picked up some 2gal/min drippers and will be experimenting with them to try and get a nice even spread watering.

Should have put a better bulb in my cmh. Plants stretched hard but it's alright. Changed it after a week or so after 12/12 and added led.
Tents just a strain tester anyways 315w cmh sunmaster full nova wx and a 100w spiderfarmer
Needs some defol and attention lol

What is everyone using for table drains? I have rain barrel bulkhead fittings, but they seem to leak from the threads. Maybe try a better quality bulkhead... Was looking at ebb and flow drain kits but not sure if the size will work. Looks like a 1/2" drain but I need a bit bigger

Have you tried thread tape?

Worth a shot, and some plumbers puddy. What about a sink drain?
Thought of this but the size is too large. Haven't been able to find a small one that'll fit into the tables low spot. Also I'm limited to about 5" underneath the table. I have a 90° elbow on the bottom that kicks it horizontal without bending

Did the bulkhead fitting not come with gaskets? Should be one inner and one outer gaskets.
