Thank you for this. This just simplified my auto drain. The last piece to my puzzle.
It runs off of 12 volt. I use this power adapter that converts ac to dc on my set up that uses the same pump.That was a nice find though. I made one similar to it but this is much less work and is less expensive as well.

Buy one of these. The box has a pump with a built in floater valve. I used it to setup up a DIY runoff removal system that I just got up and running. It's maybe the greatest upgrade I've done to my grow room. It was easy and kind of fun. Last evening I did an EC correcting flush with 30 gallons of water and it worked like a champ. Plus it's only 28 bucks.

If it has enough power, I’ll plumb it to my utility sink on the other side of the wall where my tent is. Or at least out of the tent to a catch bucket so I can use the runoff water in my flower beds.

I just don’t like my runoff to sit under the plants in the tent. They don’t sit in the runoff, but a few inches above it. Even then, still don’t like or want the runoff sitting stagnant in the tent.
Mine is only travelling maybe 5 or 6 feet and then up to a washing machine drain pipe that is about 3ft high. But it's a powerful pump. I bought a different built in floater pump with good reviews, but I ended up using the one that came with the box because it worked fine.

Can I ask what well balanced earth worm castings are? Sorry if im dumb. Ive heard of dry old lower qualitybut balanced I haven’t

Let gravity do the work.

Only thing about a raised system is that if your in a tent you lose valuable height & things are already tight as it is in standard tents (when you get up to a 10 x 10 and greater it becomes much easier)
