just wondering if anyone has experienced this or has any insight. Im in the process of setting up my first HPA system and as ive seen nuts settle in the bottom of a reservoir, it seems like this could happen in the bottom of an acc. tank over time. Which depending on the position of your tank, could give a very diluted or concentrated spray to your roots! Unless the high pressure inside the tank prevents this? I know the size of the tank and flow rate of your nozzles comes into play with how often the pump kicks on and stirs things up, I have a 14g tank with 5.5L/hr nozzles x 16, 1 sec on 2 min off. experienced input would be appreciated. thanks!

Get an airstone.
How would you suggest he puts the airstone inside of an Accumulator ?

you need to take it apart clean weekly. no choice. .
Ok.. still doesn't explain to me how you intend to get the Airstone into the bladder
I must be missing something here.thanks for the responses. im not sure what you mean by taking the tank apart and cleaning it. id imagine that draining and refilling would be effective. but without the pump kicking on and filling the tank after a day or so it would seem that the nuts would settle at the bottom of the acc. tank. the only solution I can think of is having a smaller acc. tank that would require more frequent filling thus repeatedly mixing the nuts. oh well, I already paid for a 14 gal. acc. tank, so until I expand my system with more nozzles ill just keep the pressure switch differential at a minimal. Airstone in the tank might be tricky lol
