In this system, is there tubes running down like an UGF?
I was studying a friends FW, UGF system, I help set-up. At one end, is air pumped down the tube, flowing water through the filter. On the other side I installed a PH that sucks water down the tube & from the UGF. He mentioned how he doesn't really need to clean his filter floss anymore. I'm sure by now, being months set-up it has tons of waste underneath. If I had a drain in the bottom center & drained as mentioned, would this in effect be doing the same as what we have here? Would there be benefit to add an array like an UGF and suck water through it?
