Grow Mediums Newbie here ! Rez questions ??

[Chuggah97]

Hey guys ,
So pumped to learn of this thread . Just set up my new four pot setup in my 5x5 tent . My question are I. Regards to letting your reservior run dry , will this harm the aqua valve ? Will it introduce air into the lines ? can you just close the valve if you feel they are being over watered ? Any help and advice is much appreciated !

you can put those valves anywhere but since you prob only have a couple you'll want one by the rez before any pots so you can turn off all flow to all pots. I'm trying to find more valves so i can put one in line for each pot too.

Not sure about running the res dry and what affect it will have. You can email autopots. They have been very good at answering my questions via email.

I also setup my rez and pots with water only to do a test and make sure it all works. You might want to try that.

Good luck with them.

Here is a site that carries all the Autopots and replacement parts www.webhydroponics.com/brand/autopots/ you can also look on Amazon for 1/4" shutoff valves that should work also.
