I dont know why, but the buckets keep overflowing!! It seems random, but I must be causing it somehow, anyone have a similar problem? It seems if I bump the tubes connecting to teh resavore or something, because it doesnt always do it. And, the sensor in the control bucket seems fine.

is it just a few buckets flooding? Is it all the buckets flooding? Did you take a lazer level to insure all buckets are the same height? Have you checked the float switch? Is there a suction problem from main tank to reservior when pump shuts off? just a few things i found to be problems

Thanks dude, I just discovered the I connected my tubing wrong and the little leak hole was shooting up into the top and causing it to keep draining if I bumbed it right, thanks anyways.

I am having the same problem with my ebb and grow system over filling??? i have 2 and they both are doing it. What did you do, I didnt quite understand what your solution was to the flooding?

that 90 with a hole must be installed right!! it a anti siphon. and the floor being level isnt enough to wack it out, most floors
are within the limits. I raise the front of my brain box a 1/16 of a inch to allow the float switch to work properly and help
the pump to shut off instead of constantly running.
