Yes pull roots out of pipe carefully with clean hands. Just put shims under buckets to even them out. 20$ fix that takes less than an hourWhat would be a good way to clear out roots blocking the water flow? I can't just lift the plant up, should I just reach my arm down in there and pull them out of the pipe?

Not sure on the mesh idea seems like it could be a bacteria trap.but its not something i have tried. Current culture does make these cone shapped plastic screens that lock into bulkeheads preventing roots from entering pvc pipes. Not sure what they are called ill post a picture of what im talking about when i get to my system later tonight.Pulled roots out of all the joints. Big problem was roots had grown through the end screens and into the return manifold.
Floor is pretty much flat. Concrete warehouse. Maybe not gyroscopically perfect but nothing that should affect water levels.
Think putting micron mesh over the end screens would be a good solution to prevent it from ever happening again?
Thanks.
Ahh i see yeah personally wouldnt put another screen on but we never learn new things without experimenting. I just keep up regularly pulling roots out of lines once a week. Good luck let us know if screen works!My cone screens were on, the roots had grown through the screen and into the manifold. They had grown all the way to the inline filter. But I got them out thanks to your insight, thanks.
Yeah this was my thought going forward when I discovered the problem.I just keep up regularly pulling roots out of lines once a week.
Had the same problem other day I don't use them screens they give youPulled roots out of all the joints. Big problem was roots had grown through the end screens and into the return manifold.

Do you use an alternative or just no covers at all?Had the same problem other day I don't use them screens they give you
I don't use any and sometimes have to pull them out I watch water levels constantlyDo you use an alternative or just no covers at all?
