Outcomes

Sand team

Bubble team

  • Learned about how DO probes work
  • Working system

Issues

  • The sand filter setup need another hole 3/8" for another DO probe for the initial DO reading.

  • Need another pump head for bubbles
  • Have to get the conversion for the air flow meter from Monroe
  • No labels
