How many watts overhead do you have spinning... sorry if it was answered earlier in the thread
Its weird the UC eats so many PPMs, because with DD system my ppm's and ph stay the same, but there is about 160gals of water. Im thinking with the UC they arent actually eating those PPMs its just the water that is added back is dropping it down. I wonder if they have any lines that are going to have a bigger res to keep things a little more stable it seems they are tweeking their design on the regs
....This just in.....
This seemed like a good question to call and ask the UC folks so here's what they told me.
Its recommended to use a top off reservoir filled with balanced (pH'd, EC'd) nutrient solution connected directly to the float valve for top off.
This is intended to keep the nutrient solution in the system more stable and avoiding the up and down fluctuations that can happen when topping off water only.
The guy I talked to was named Daniel, he also mentioned that different growers develope their own top off styles that suit them best.
Looks to me like TK has developed a style that seems to be working very well....I know we all look forward to more pics TK. :)
