The pH coming out of the overflow tested near 7.0 (up from 4.0).

 


The System was shut down to upgrade the overflow channels and to repair some minor leaks in the clean out pipes. The third tank will be tested early next week. Posted by Picasa

The tank overflows were being tested. The siphons will not be tested until later next week.
