in a regular dwc application, you would have the water level pretty constant..

so if i only ran the pump for 5 minutes, it would only be filled to just below the netpot for 5 minutes..

would i still be able to keep the water level constant and it would basically be the same thing as a seperate 5gallon bucket dwc?/

would this be an added advantage of using recirculating dwc?

benefits of oxygenated water bath, plus the ability to dry out the roots from time to time easily and prevent root rot


seems like it would be the "best" condition for the roots



**edit**
the water lines are about an inch and a half above the bottom of the buckets, so if i were to drain them by shutting the pump off, there would still be 1.5 inches of bubbling water at the bottom
