Hey what’s up people, so one of my pumps seems to be leaking oil into my hydro reservoir leaving and oily sheen/film on top of the water.
I’ve cleaned the main nute reservoir and my fresh water reservoir, replaced all my pumps and bleached out and rinsed repeatedly what I could. I run a hydro logic sediment/chlorine small boy filter(fresh filters) and just got a UV sterilizer unit but I need to exchange because it’s broken out of the box so I will get a new one tomorrow. I also bought a brand new hose to drain/fill my nute reservoir as the previous hose was very old and had a fabric outter layer which I think was trapping oil from being submerged all the time.
So does anyone have any experience with this? I’m worried that oily film has been the cause of some stress issues I’ve been having. They seem to be fine but I strive for optimal growth and plant health for the best product/yields.
how can I clean the oil out and is it any cause for concern?
heres a video of the res before I drained and batched out.
pics of the room setup and plants. I also bought a good mixing/airation pump
