How do you tell how much water to put in the reservoir?

The bottom of the planter is solid, but about an inch up on the sides are slits in the plastic. If you overfill, the water will flow out. As for the reservoir, I believe you can fill it up to the hole where the watering can would be inserted....see the top two holes above the ribbed area....that is where you fill.

I typically fill the reservoir once every week and a half or so. The plants seem to do fine this way, without overwatering. The diffusion of the water from a full reservoir over this time period seems to be just right, but this may be based on the plans you have in there.

It depends on what type of plant you have in the container. I water as I would a small pot. My succulents are thriving and I water them twice per month.

I can't give you an exact amount, but filling it to overflowing, then pouring a bit out seems to be pretty effective at keeping the water from expanding and pushing the two halves apart.

One ounce per five gallons of water. The reservoir measures one ounce and has a half ounce line as well.

I did about a quarter of an inch. If water comes up when you close it there is too much.

One should be enough for just the reservoir. You will probably need three to flush the lines too.

We dump water into the reservoir when low. If your faucet is hooked up to a filter you'll be all set.

Make sure you aren't putting too much water in. I tend to overfill mine and I have a watery mess when I do. There's a fill line and you can't go even the littlest bit over that.

No need to get super technical. Just pull a sample out with a cup and test it.. But honestly, you need to change ALL the water every two weeks anyway, so just set it at 5.8 AFTER you mix your nutrients in it, put the lid/plant back on the reservoir and leave it alone for the next two weeks.. The water that is.. Rain mist the plants with a water bottle daily (I put a light nutrient mix in mine) and you're golden.. Trust me

The reservoir holds 3 gals. of water and typically takes 2.5 hrs. to rejuvenate, but you never run out of water because as you use it, it continues filtering. The water taste great too!!!

It is recommended to empty the water. You can empty the reservoir by pulling to reservoir and turning it over to remove as much water as you can.

That's what I do. I only clean and change the water in the reservoir. I only check the water in the sensor when the plants don't seem to be getting enough water-the sensor has to be completely full for the plant sitter to work properly.

Hi, Buffy... about two-and-a-half gallons. When filling the upper gravity feed portion, though, make certain there is enough "room" in the lower receptacle for the water. I made the mistake of filling the upper portion when the lower section was only about half full and I had "spillage"...

look to see how many gallons of water that your pool is and buy a pump that support that many gallons

Add water to the sump or vessel it is installed in. Verify that it starts by observing water discharge. Then verify that pump stops when the water drops to about 3" water depth in sump. The discharge rate should be about 20 gpm but will vary as a function of discharge head.

Yes, it has a window on the side, so you can see exactly how many "cups" of water you have poured into the reservoir (e.g., 4, 8, 10, or 12).

The amount of water used will depend on your elevation and the doneness desired. I use the bottom lines between #6 and 7

If you fill the bottom reservoir clear to the top, you can get about 3 1/2 inches of water in it.
