STEP 10
Place the Net Pots with the CocoTek Liners into the growing sites and use the Clay
Pebbles to support seedling plants. Always rinse the Clay Pebbles before use and see
the Helpful Guidelines for planting and cleaning the system.
FILLING
Before filling your system with water it is
essential that you understand the system
capacity. The reservoir should be drained
first before draining the growing chambers.
This will prevent overfilling of the reservoir
and possible flooding. See illustration for
reservoir capacities at each of the steps. Fill
the reservoir with a known volume of water
and then start the pump. Adjust the Drain
Level Tubes (DLT) to the desired level and
start adding water in 1 gallon increments
until the Growing Chambers and reservoir
are at the desired levels. Record the total
gallons to be used for calculating the
amount of nutrient to add to the system. See
chart for approximate amount of water each
system holds at the two operating levels.
CAUTION: Never run the water pump
without water covering the pump inlet.
