How do you change the water? (How do you drain and refill while plants are growing?)

I have a spare bucket I use for changing the water. I fill up the other DWC bucket with the water and nutrients then just simply move the plant from last week's bucket into the clean water one. Then empty the used bucket and clean it throughly using hot water and H2O2. Then set it aside and use it for the change out the next week.

What I did was lift the top lid with the plant off and put it on another bucket while I emptied out the bubble bucket. I then refilled it and put the lid with the plant back on. I guess you could also use a pump

To drain, all you need to do is turn the blue outer hose upside down and the bucket will drain out. To refill, just pour your refill water through the grow medium on the top basket of the bucket. If you have any other questions, just let us know.

There are 2 ways to drain and refill. The best way, I think, is to have a spare 5 gal. bucket such as you can buy at Home Depot,etc. Lift your entire growing plant in the net bucket and place net pot and plant into spare bucket. You can now move your DWC pot and dump old nutrient solution and replace with fresh nutrients. Then replace plant and net pot back into the DWC bucket. It's also possible to pull down the blue indicator tube and drain off old nutrient solution this way, but this can be messy, so I much prefer the 1st method I mentioned. Even a 4 ft. plant in the net pot,filled with hydoton, is not as heavy as you might think.I hope this helps you. There are 2 ways to drain and refill.

I use a small pail and water from my rain barrow or tap. I usually refill about once a week using the size pail I have. Works great

Yes you can mix the nutrients in the same water and then water your plants. Not sure if that's what you were asking for.

Depends on what you are watering. I put an emitter at each plant and control the amt of water at each with a different sized (color) emitter.

Refill at bottom. Demineralization Cartridge, little round gizmo on bottom. Comes off to fill water. Place it back on, flip it over & carry with handle. Place back on humidifier with handle on top. Great for small room:)

It's a hydroponics bucket, rinse it out very well, stick the air hose through the hole in the top of the bucket and connect the airstone, connect the tube with the two lines to the fitting on the bottom of the bucket this piece is used to check the water level, fill the basket with rocks and your seedlings, add water and nutrients plug in the air pump, change water and nutrients every 2 weeks or as needed.

I've done it you have to use a garden hose and be patient it takes a while and i would let water run for a while so it can push waste to sewer main the rest is natural every time you flush toilets or shower in house it'll keep it clear .

You just turn on the water and let it drip for as long as you need. If you have a timer for your spigot you could use that as well. If you left it on all the time you would probably end up flooding the area you wanted watered.

Use a planter that you can take inside and you can plant them now. Less water is better.

Yes you connect a regular garden hose to the Flush King, it has a shut off that's handy. So you dump your black tank, shut off the flush King Handle turn on the water and the water will go back into the black tank. Watch your levels so you don't over fill the tank. you'll be amazed how much junk stays in your tank when you don't have on of these. I think I flushed mine 4 times before it seemed clean. Good luck.

Between complete water changes/cleaning, I sort of fluctuate between two things. I pour more fresh water in, usually in the evening. Other times, unplug and carefully pour water into sink without any disassembly. Put back on floor, refill, plug in, and go!

I don't think there's a way to do it. You would need to fill the unit with water, but it is a sealed unit with no visible way to add more water.

I didn't refill mine, I ended up purchasing a new one on Amazon. I do believe there is a You Tube video showing you how to refill the aquarium.

Just pour it in the open top. I unplug and pour out the water (on plants outside) twice a week and then wipe it down and just pour about a pitcher and a half in. If the weather is dry and the level goes down quickly, I just add a cup of water in between the total refills.

FOUR ways, use any of these or a combination: (1)pH adjust your water to 5.6-5.8 ---- (2)add 5ml/gal of 3% drugstore H2O2, not a drop more and start with half that just to be sure your plants are ok with it ---- (3) use distilled or RO water ---- (4) cover your reservoir so no light reaches the water
