As it says in the title. Got a sharp nudge by the missus this morning to a funny noise coming from the loft, jumped up and discovered that my water had been completely emptied and the pump was running dry for what must have been hours. pinch.gif
I think the pump still might work but i wont know until i get home from work. Plant looks fine though sweatdrop.gif we'll see when i get home i guess.
It was the first night of introducing pk 13/14 aswell, there was me wanting to ease them onto it and they get a 10ltr bucket dumped on them for a constant 5 or 6mins. 34.gif

I suppose i should be thankfull really. The res i made was filled to the brim and had there been more then 10ltr in the bucket, we would've woken up with a big wet circle on the ceiling or indoor rain.

GT.

So heres what i was using, what are you guys and gals using?

I use the same make pump and timers pictured, never had a problem, was it your error?
Mr Mullen

Same here....Grasslin and MJ500 (or MJ1000) and no probs.

Grasslins are the dogs bollocks...German reliability for 15 quid....it's a false economy to buy anything else imho because they WILL break....
