@rosa, the hydroponics pump controller is throwing error codes I haven’t seen before. EC-447 and EC-449. Do you know what those mean?
I honestly don’t remember. Give me a sec to look it up.
No need. I found it. It means there’s an unexpected pressure differential. Should I check the pressure sensors?
Why don’t you check the valves first?
Oh good, you’re looking at the pumps. They’ve been making a weird clicking sound for the past two days, but I couldn’t pin it down.
Oh, I think the Chief mentioned something about this. Chali, check valve 3.
Checking now.
Okay, there’s definitely some debris in here. Should I clean it in place or pull the whole valve assembly?
Just pull it.
Want me to grab the spare from storage while you’re doing that?
That would be great, thank you!
Got the spare. On my way to you.
I’ve got the old valve out. This thing is pretty gunked up. What is this stuff?
Nutrient build up probably. We need a better filter on the recirculation loop.
I can take care of that while Chali works on the valve.
@rosa
I can take care of that while Chali works on the valve.
Filter’s in. Chali, you good?
Just finishing up. Running a test cycle now.
Error codes are gone! And no more clicking sound.
Thank you both. My plants appreciate your service.
Good work, Chali.
Thanks! You too, Rosa.
