looks like everybody had probs. n questions all at once about waterfarms. due to everyones responses to various questions in my threads as well as other ppls. i found a cheap -n- easy way to recirculate my farms to stabilize ph / ppm and only havta check numbers at the res. not cell by cell which i'm unable to do , old girl was ready to thump me . lol .
my res. and cells were already on pallets to help w/ water temps being so cold . we used a t' fitting verses a 90 deg. fitting in last 2 cells in each row of farms so we could run both lines into a 5 gal. bucket containing a v/a 302 pump on a timer sitting on the floor , not the pallet / thanx gravity ! then ran a single line from the control bucket's pump back to the res.
ppm is stabilized now from cell to cell , but the ph still seems to climb a lil . but atleast the cells are all same ph now . i set the res. ph at 5.8 and in a days time it's back up to 6.2 ?
thx everyone esp. bluebear , weedhound , pay it fwd . i left karma/brownie pts. for all . u all got your crippled cuz out of a jam .

Great! I tried a variation of PIF's thing and it worked GREAT for me---saved my back too. Because I'm now recirculating the solution the drippers arent' clogging up (so far cross fingers....) and i don't have to check ph in each ind. bucket. Thanks you guys!!!!!

damn straight weedhound ,
saved not just my back , but about $250.00 i was gonna shell out for a multi/flow controller n 2 pumps . i was gonna just run the farms like an
ebb n gro -or- multi/flow sys . n remove dripring n stuff .
G/B guys
