Does anyone know what the lowest float on the E&G controller is for? I have 2 of these systems and the bottom float switches don't seem to have a function. The top float stops the fill pump, the middle float activates the drain pump, and the bottom float??

It is the Fixit float.. a lot of two float pots where failing so the added that switch. The 2 switch pots where sold to wholesalers and pushed to new Med States.. Most of the E-bay systems have this defect..
The float just sets there activating the pump ,then off. click on..click off click on ...click off..pretty soon there goes your pump.

That's what I thought too but when the bucket is in drain mode you can lift the bottom float and nothing happens. You can lift the middle float and the drain pump kicks on even if the bottom float is down.

Both the top(fill) float and the middle(drain) float will activate their respective pumps regardless of the position of the bottom float.
***EDIT- The above statement is incorrect. The drain pump is activated by the middle float and deactivated by the bottom float. (thanks Warlock)

This makes sense but what exactly is the function of the bottom float? I can't get it t activate/deactivate anything.

I think it does nothing.. It was replaced by the second one. Some may be double faults also. I always look for the 3 switch ones for any clients who buy them..this is actually why I reccomend Titian systems

Gonna have to call those dicks over at C.A.P. about this one.... Can't imagine those cheap bassturds adding extra parts for no reason at all. Sometimes truth is stranger than fiction.

Bottom float turns off the drain pump.

You the man Warlock! If I hold the bottom float up first and then the middle float the pump kicks on until middle AND bottom float drop down. In other words, the middle float will only deactivate the drain pump IF the bottom float is also in the down position. Thanks to everyone who responded so quickly, I was beating my head against the wall.....

2 is fine. Top stops the flood. Bottom stops the drain pump. 3rd was how CrAP fixed there issue. But newer systems are fine.

Yo what up guys Im back figured Id show off my plants a little Im wondering if I should switch to 12/12 yet cause its been 4 weeks to the day but my plants seem a little small. I've been lst bending them so they make a more even canopy so i figured I'd go another week or two. I had the problem with brown slime because of the organic matter that is left on the top of the root mass. Here are some pics lmk what you guys think. Im running 1200w lights and the day temps never go above 78 and the night temps never go below 65 with the exception of 1 or 2 days. Using Full grand master line for bloom from AN pretty much and now I am using heisenbergs EWC tea to get rid of the brown slime which seems to be working. 
MMMP legal so let me know. Trying to get the highest quality meds to help out with my pains the strains are aurora indica and lemon skunk

Forgive me for being honest but if those plants have been in the E&G for a month something is seriously wrong. Your pots should be filled with roots within the first 2 weeks. You said earlier in the thread that you were trying Zone and it seemed to be working. Now you are back on teas again??? You seem to lack the most important quality of a greenthumb.......patience! The only tea I like is sweet and served on ice.

Yeah I know they should be bigger and I can tell you why they are not. The first reason is that I've been using a bad ph meter for a month now. I took it in and it was fucked up so bad like i probably wasn't having terrible ph fluctuations and it was a whole 1.2 off and could not be kept calibrated. 2nd reason is that I had a brown slime from adding plants with soil still on the roots. Nothing will kill the shit besides physan 20 and I had to go light on it cause the plants are still small. The only way to prevent the slime from taking over again is to use heisenbergs tea recipe which I can tell is working now because all the new roots are nice and white.
That being said I went out and splurged a little bit and got the blue labs guardian and am brewing my 2nd batch of tea to add on Friday. Ill probably see how the plants look in 2 weeks and decide to flip.
