    It would be much simpler to add the Cal Mag to the reservoir, not sure why you would want to pour this solution into the tray. Not advisable

    Are you using any organic fertilisers are you sure it’s not simply salt deposits. If your concerned turn the system off…… remove the AQUAvalve and clean with warm soapy water….. replace into the tray and then turn the reservoir back on when the water have been used in the trays….. don’t turn it on before the water has been used.

    Hi ….. have you changed anything compared to your first run … when everything was OK…. is the water hotter in the trays, ideally it should be cool for lettuce around 18oc…. also lower levels of feed are required for lettuce…

    Generally if you are seeing higher levels ppm in your trays there could be an issue with your environmental control not being as it should be. The plants are not able to transpire correctly which in turn prevent the plants from taking up the fertiliser. Look at your environment and consider lowering the ppm or supplying just pH stable water for a period of time until your environment can be corrected.

    If you have not put it in the pot gold face down….. put it under the pot gold face up….. but keep an eye out for roots escaping from time to time…. if they do just snip them away and discard….. take a look at the catalogue on the home page there is loads of information here too.

    Hi There…. have you contacted the store where you bought it from…. are you also sure that the tap has been tightened correctly and are you sure that the collection of water over night is not condensation on the outside of the reservoir, this occurs when cold water is added to the tank in a warm environment. If you do discover there is damage they are under warranty as long as it is a manufacturing issue if the damage has been caused the warranty will not apply, you will need to provide your receipt….. please contact the retailer and I’m sure they will assist….. alternatively look at trying a bicycle tyre repair kit

    Hi …. you will probably get an imbalance with the air….. have you considered supplying the air as you do the water supply…… this method is much better ….. if you can connect large pipe to the air pump and then reduce to the smaller pipe at each airdrome point would be more effective.

    Hi Maartin, The AQUAvalve needs to be pushed firmly onto the Tee section by pushing on the main body only. When you can push down any further the AQUAvalve will be securely positioned this should fix the problem

    Please ensure the AQUAvalve is pushed firmly onto the tee and that you have carried out the silicon check on the top float as shown in the instructions.
