Problem With SH Bubbleponics Pump System

Today when I was changing the water in my SH bubbleponics system I noticed that the irrigation piece ( the part thats connected to the pump that spilts into 6 tubes for each net pot) isn't flowing well or at all in the six outlets. A couple of the outlets don't get any water out of them.

The plants are about a month old now and have lots of roots that hanging down into the water. I have added an extra air pump and air stone so the plants are getting plenty of O2 and lots of bubbles in the water.

Do I still even need to pump to be feeding water up to the net pots?

probobly dont if the roots are in the solution, but it sounds like your tubes are clogged, clean them.

Id clean them and keep them as it keeps water in motion to stop alage and adds oxygen a nd mixes the solution well

The tubes aren't clogged I cleaned them out. It seems to be a clog in the piece thats connected to the pump and has the six outlets for the the tubes.

Phone or email Robert at Customer Service. He can tell ya how to take that hub apart and clean it.

I used the hydroponic 35% H202 to clean it out. can't do it too often of leave it in there too long but pour it in, block off the input end and your gunk gets blown out the nosels.

I used a can of AIR, like you use to dust off your computer.

I have an air compressor in my garage. Do you think that would be to powerful to use?

I don't know bro. I do know that one of the biggest mistakes growers make is
"I wonder what will happen if I ______________" and I keep telling people here, if you do not know what will happen, then do not do it! What if that compressed air blows it to pieces?
