For me, RO water = more stable PH.

Half RO half tap water is another method.

(My tap is good and under 150ppm. But the PH and tds can vary randomly. Driving me nuts until I realized it was fluctuating)

By hand. Break it down, soak manifolds in vinegar. Blast hot water thru manifolds and lines.

Wipe down each res when empty.

When I use nute supplements like Recharge, it's a separate bucket and hand feed the bishes. That chit makes a mess of everything. Lol

For what it's worth, I've just recently decided to probably just replace any tubing under 1/2" (dripper tubing) each run, if I go drip style. It's not worth the risk and too hard to clean and make sure it's all clean.

Halos work p good for me.
