Auto pump watering.

What's going on RIU community. Got a question for everyone using Cal/Mag with automatic watering systems. Does the use of auto water pumps while watering with cal/mag tend to cause any kind of build up in the pump or lines? Any thoughts or advise. Should I keep an eye out for anything?

I use cal/mag with every watering in coco. I also use drip clean with every watering. I found that salt buildup only happens at areas where the water can dry i.e. the end of the dripper. This is why I chose to use 1/4" tees as the final fittings into my pots. You can see slight salt buildup on them but they would never come close to plugging during one run.

Thank you, just wasn't sure if I had to "flush" the lines after each time.
