Hello All,
I am working on a small E&F system to tinker with and have the design fairly well figured out except one detail.
I have bulkhead fittings for the supply & drain lines. The bulkhead fittings project into the masons tub (Home Depot) a bit over 1/8".
I am concerned that the drain fitting not being flush with the bottom of the tub will leave 1/8" of nute solution standing in the bottom of the tub after draining.
Is this a problem? Pythium & algea issues in the small amount of standing solution?
If it is a problem, I can come up with an alternative drain. I prefer not as I already have the bulkhead fittings.
What do you all think?
