Maintenance Report:
I was able to get through steps 1-5 starting at 1000 today. I only had to add 8 gallons before the reserve was full and I had no issues with adding nutrients.
Once I turned on the system the water came out too fast and filled the bags, went through the bags and through the drain. After about 2 mins the 5 qt bucket was over flowing.
I tried moving the sprinklers around and it slowed down a little the second time, but still very fast flow. In attempt to stop the over flowing bucket I also knocked the pipe with the valves and it disconnected and I got my first bath in five days, which was nice. But we did loose water.
On the third try I added more soil to the bags and screwed down all the sprinkler heads tight.
When I turned it on that time it seemed to have a reasonable flow but after 30 seconds the water tank was too low to pump water.
I now have about 6 gallons of remaining wastewater (I had to dump about 6 due to lack of buckets to catch incoming water) that I have been pouring back on the bowls to keep the soil moist and a 2 in deep water reserve. At this point I stopped in order to trouble shoot further ….Great day over al of green hab science.
