Haven't had a leak. You're just not smart enough to know how to use them. ;)
Naw dude anyone who has used uniseals on buckets especially rounded buckets knows they leak.they suck plain and simple.there cheap and will do the job but if everything isnt perfect or set right they will leak.this isnt the kind of thing you wanna fill up your system and see if its leaking only to drain and adjust the uniseals.
Bulkheads are the only thing worth a shit using.
Besides that your hoses on your supposed dwc are way to small anyone using them in a scrog where lifting the lids isnt an option will have root clogs in them tiny lines.

I like the simplicity of you’re system. I don’t mind air pumps. I only use bennies at the moment, I still have root masses that fill a 5 gallon bucket to the point of forming a root mass shaped like a bucket. If anything adding a chiller is going to increase root growth speed so I don’t know how long that would be applicable with DO due to agitation. I’ve always been a fan of more air then I need and would use GH Diaphram pumps with air disc on my build with square site bucket. I know that you can get away with a small amount of DO. I split ecoplus 45w pumps to 2- buckets and compared it to a single 11w air pump to 1 bucket and the 45w buckets outgrew the 11w. I just prefer the square buckets. I plan on mixing Heisengrows & Hygro Hybrids on YouTube builds (which he runs circle buckets too)

Uniseals, again, are made for surfaces JUST like 5gal buckets. So whatever you wanna say. And when are 1.5" & 2" lines "too small"? You're crazy. Ain't no roots gonna clog this shit up.

I see tiny 3/4 inch lines in your links.
As I told you ONCE ALREADY those were taken Prior to the next set of pictures that you can clearly see 1.5" pipe and uniseals on. You literally can read the posts right below it going over this between you and i.

I'm almost ashamed to admit my biggest lines are 1/2 ".. With my grow the water comes in the top and goes out the bottom.. Wish i could think up a fancy name for it.. I'll just have to settle for rdwc, albeit at only 5-6 gallons an hour.
Undercurrent: Just another way of saying " a river runs through it. " But then, it is all about size.. Bigger is better... Bigger reservoir, bigger chiller, better lights, co2.. I know i left out something.. Oh yes, and if your not careful, bigger ego..
You've made an enemy of Heisen forever if you get in a pissing contest with him, and this thread has become a pissing contest.. The op bailed Jul 21..

You're running a waterfall setup.

Check my signature for scrog screens where you CAN lift the lids.

I use 1" lines and don't have clogs. I use oversized containers.

These were only a couple weeks from xfer from clone chamber. My roots have taken up half the space of a 27gal tote and worst that has happened was it sucked through some stragglers. No biggie. Each site has 4 outlets back to main.

4 plants. 10x12 room. Yes they will work on those plants. I set my rdwc up so where the pots sit each site canopy covers a 2x2 and each screen butts up against. This way there's no wasted space between screens and you can still lift the lids up
