Great! I was going to suggest that actually. Look forward to seeing the pump in action.

Sorry, I do not see the video of this pump in action. Would you be able to resubmit.Right so this is the pump working and the other end of pump is connected below the water line.. and from what you can see there is no water movement in the pots..
Now I’d say the pump should be pumping water up the pipes bit according to instructions it’s the opposite .. I’m about to lose control this cost a lot of money
Ok, so it is just a theory, but have you checked to see if the supply lines to your buckets are free and clear of any sediment? The pump seems to be putting out great pressure. Any kinks or obstructions would be the only thing I can think of.Here is the video
What brand is this system?I checked all the pipes mate and it’s brand new one just set it up
So, the pump shouldn’t be sucking into the reservoir. The reservoir is setup to send the nutes to the plants. I am going to say this and please don’t be offended. Have you read the instructions? There should be a detailed explanation of how the reservoir works.Yea I’ve looked but I can’t get my head around this. If this pump is sucking into the reservoir how do they get nutes ! It says the chiller thing is optional to the system i didn’t buy it..
Won’t be offended mate yea and I’ll go back and read it all again feel like an idiot I thought that as I was doing itSo, the pump shouldn’t be sucking into the reservoir.

No worries, we are all here to learn from each other. Having a few sets of eyes on things always helps. Thanks for the video, it really helped in understanding what was going on. Think of your reservoir as the toilet tank behind the actual toilet. It holds the water and nutes so the pump can do its job. If you can, I would see if you can have your reservoir a bit higher so gravity will help your pump.Won’t be offended mate yea and I’ll go back and read it all again feel like an idiot I thought that as I was doing it
That’s it , the whole pump flow?Here is the video
