No. there is a problem here, maybe more than one.Does taking an hour to drain a table seem too long? It takes me 16 mintues to flood. Im new to this and was just wondering if its normal?
If it takes you 16 minutes to flood your tray to the right depth, then your pump does not have enough capacity. Mine take a maximum 4 minutes.
If it takes it an hour to drain you are filling it too high. There should not be a whole lot of difference between the time it takes to fill and the time it takes to drain. When we say flood, we don't really mean flood, we only mean enough to water the plants, not give them a bath to thier armpits.
You ,may aslo want to check for some obstuction in the line, maybe to many elbows or too small of lines.
You are not providing enough details to give you a good answer, you need a journal, I am not good at guessing the system, medium, etc. VV
