I’m having the same issue with an EcoPlus 633….

I built a smaller scale mock-up at home with just 3 pods in 1 column using this pump. At the office, I’m building a larger scale version (using the same water pump) with 5 columns of 6 pods. It’s only pumping water about 1/2 way up the 6 feet or so that we need it to go.

I’m researching and considering replacing it with an air lift system….anyone have any advice?

Yikes, I almost ordered one of these. Thanks for the tip!

Anyone had any experience with the Sunleaves brand? Looking at them, they appear to be just a rebranded EcoPlus…
