Hellraiser...anyone??? LOL...I tried running the E&G for a daily watering to make sure everything is in working order...and I'm a bit lost, do you have to plug your res. pump power cord into the plug-ins on the side of the control bucket?
For some reason, got a small amount of water in controller and buckets (like an inch-two) and it just stopped there...so I turned the timer till the drain light came on and it didn't drain everything, damn I must have the tubing setup wrong...it says in the very inadequate instruction page,says "cut a piece of 1/2" tubing long enough to connect the pump to the bottom of the right hand straight connector" I assumed this was right hand side viewing the control bucket from the front? Then on the left I have a piece about 8' long that runs outside the room to the res.
I am just curious what the pump in the res does all of the time, because they normally pump when plugged in, right?
So I tried filling the control bucket,but it was draining down the "special vacuum elbow" back into the res...and after I unplugged the pump in the res, it bubbled for about 5-7 min...is this normal?
So where it stands, It won't fill up the control bucket all the way, and I get only 1-2" of h2o in my buckets....somethings not hooked up right or my controller is a dud...
anyone else have such issues?
Please let me know asap...as the girls are going to be needing this to run here pretty soon..
Oh, and I am not entirely sure how to set the programmed timer..is each cog like a 15 min or 1/2 hr interval? And how long do you have to set it to fill and drain 2x a day? And do you set it to the current time like on the light timer??
Thank you in advance for any help, it is much appreciated..
