Don't sweat it. Speed of water movement isn't nearly as important as maintaining a waterfall in each tub. It doesn't need to be the fuckin' Niagra either; a steady waterfall that creates a touch of splash is just fine.

I never did. As long as the oxygenation and water movement is on point, pathogens don't stand a chance.

OoOoOoooOoaoo this I have not seen or heard of. That's be swell.
But the little cap on the bottom with the added built-in ramp lip up to it works well for draining the whole thing.
20gal of water is heavy as a mother fucker once it's full. Thank god it has wheels.

Ttystik loves to counter argue every thing I ever post. Believe what you want, but a good clean, scrub, and wiping out dry of everything after each run seems like good practice to me.
I can promise you I wipe off all kinds of sludgy Shit that accumulates on the uniseals every run.

Mine you can hook a garden hose to the port up near the top. When it's full it automatically pumps out the water. No stopping, rolling or any of that. Been using one since they came out like 15 years ago.OoOoOoooOoaoo this I have not seen or heard of. That's be swell.

I know, you can't stand it when someone with actual experience shares it.
And uniseals are for amateurs.

When I drain I just use a small 66gph pump, the same size and model I use to circulate my buckets (1 per bucket). I just cut a hose long enough to go to my bathroom tub lol, takes a few minutes but is simple enough, I'll probably buy a 150gph+ next run just to make it a bit quicker. 9 bucket system.

Must admit I don't think the fault is in the uniseals but more the thickness and quality of the tub material when they are used. I have mine in blue barrels and they are great. I have infact moved the whole system as a whole on more than one occasion with no problems.

Uniseals are finicky, develop leaks, less tolerant of accidents, etc. Bulkhead fittings also work with flexible lines which just makes things so much easier to work with.
