[Resolved] First time use – Overflowing Trays/Valves

Hello Josh,

First off, thanks for having such an awesome support system. Reading through some of the posts and seeing your responses show you guys are attentive and care.

I hooked up my AutoPot 4 Pot system, with only 3 pots. I am using the AquaValve 5 (black and grey) with the 12gal res. I turned it on for the first time last night and this morning there is some slight overflow on my tent floor (maybe less than a half gallon).

I did ensure the Valves connected to the T holders in each tray. Two of them were a bit loose, but after reading a previous post, I figured it was okay as long as it connected to the T. When I opened the tray covers today, the 2 loosely fitting valves were floating, and the trays were over filled. The 3rd tray looked to be at a good level, but did have water under it, possibly from the other 2 flooding a bit.

I have added a “wave maker” to keep the res water moving, to avoid bacteria, could this be the problem? I have turned off the res tap for now, i am not sure how to approach this one. Any ideas?
