What stones do you use? I have no idea how they clog, but they do, and it doesn't take more than 2 weeks for them to significantly reduce flow, and by the end of a run I'm worried that flow could drop to 0 on some buckets. I never turn the air off, but I did trip over the cord once and have it off for about 15 minutes.How would a stone clog up if it has air blowing out of it all time? How can anything get in a stone when everything is being blown away from the stone? My stones seem to last forever. Once in a while I buy a few new ones due to expansion and I compare the air bubbles to my old ones and don't notice any difference. I do wash them off between grows, but that's about it. Are you guys turning off the air from time to time and allowing gunk to soak into them?
The discard-a-stone's haven't clogged yet BTW, but they aren't that old yet either, no flow loss yet though.
