intermatic FF330M model #

30 minute spring loaded timer like u use in a hotel bathroom or a shower fan.
35 bucks typically, purchased one and cut an extension cord in half, used both ends installed it into a 4" metal box with plate.
I have that attached to my cloner now after a few nights of leaving the pump off.
Now whenever I need to poke my face into the cloner it automatically goes back on.

Not a bad idea that, I've left the cloner off more than once myself. Surprising how well the little ladies put up with it but it rather it didn't happen.
Ever had it go off halfway through an inspection?

They usually bounce back if u catch it quick. Just got some spray on my shirt. Just drop the lid down real quick. You can get the 15 minute model. I just set it and forget it. During a full blown cleaning simply unplug it so you don't get that unexpected shower.

Wish I had the answer about the pump. As long as your air stones were going last night. The stones to me seem like a fail safe in case of pump failure. Had blocked stones in with DWC trees died in a day because no oxygen. 18 gal totes 2. I'd watch water temps tonight depending how cold it comes out of the faucet by you. Comes out the tap in the 40's by me and that can do some damage 2. Don't fall asleep and have the water overflow, gonna watch X-files. TC

Btw if your using the black 3/4 inch to your pump and u get no flow again, pump start it like Amber was saying and you can squeeze the tubing to constrict flow to help create some vacuum. Has worked for me.

I'm not sure how it applies in the UC, but in ebb and flow its way easier to drop ppms by adding a low concentration solution instead of R/O.

DonkeyDon I'm sorry bro I'm on my way I hope your going to be around. My plane lands at around 4:20 so expect to see me. So sorry I missed my flight yesterday but I'm on my way got my tools and a bag full of tricks. I think that's what there called but were going to get you going see you soon. Be prepared for some good laughs and good times.

Don't feel bad I leave shit unplugged all the time or worse forget I left the drain valve open to come back to no water in the system. Ok only twice I've done that but everything was cool actually after refilling the next day went In to see at least 6" of new growth IDK how or why or advise this mistake but true story
