De-i is not good for hydroponics as I mentioned in the above post already.
You should also NOT have any brown residue buildup of ANY kind.
Those are two obvious problems that stick out that need to be fixed, then see what you have after those are corrected.
Cheers!
I not sure where you read this or how you came to a conclusion but every thing I have read from manufactures of nutriants to instrimuent makers says the exact oppsite. Use RO/di water. Would like to see what your source is for your info.

Are you adding PH down directly to epicenter and getting it to 5.3-5.4. If so, maybe it is that after the uc turns itself over a few times and actually balances everything, the ph is really the 5.9-6.0 after thoroughly mixed with the rest of the system .
To do addbacks i have been using the Epicenter Nurse lol or the Day Dripper and it has helped me keep everything balanced and nice and slow even distribution in the UC . Im lovin it.
The enzymes in these bottled zyme products are very effective in bioremediating substances such as sloughed off or broken roots, root exudate (sugars exuded by the roots to feed microbes) and tiny leaf debris......in most hydroponics systems. In the UC on the other hand these types of products have provided mixed and in many cases poor responses including pH problems, solution clouding and most often the formation of mucous like biofilms that coat roots and airstones rendering both less efficient. Once the biofilm establishes it's not unusual for algaes to become established as a result of the reduced turbulence and atmospheric O2 introduction to the solution. It seems as though something in the bottled zyme products also feeds and encourages the algae worsening any problems that may already exist
Hello UCHQ my I know you and everybody says don't worry about PH swing upwards but how come no matter how much I try to lower my PH to 5.3 or 5.4 in matter of half hour it goes up to 5.9 6.0 my ppm stay stable water temps are also stable plants have no defency and recovering very nicely thanks for the feed back
OMG... we were thinking it was the Humboldt Roots or the microzy's causing this issue so stopped adding those as found other info on HR being an issue with UC system...and i just did a flippin' rez change and added that hygrozyme...oh man...!
The very thing we thought it was going to help with, it is "increasing the undeseried affects you are saying!?!?!?
Thanks for stating this UCHQ!
