Welcome!!!

For that bell, there are a couple of things you might try. I'd start simple. Make sure you have a large enough notch/cut-out on the bottom of your bell to be sure enough air gets in to break the siphon. apart from that, if you are feeling really industrious, you could try the 'better bell' which is I think and Affnan development...?

Thanks! We got it somewhat working. We needed more water flow coming in, a taller stand pipe and we added the hose to the cap. When I say,"somewhat" I mean the grow bed fills, the suction drain starts but only drains half of the grow bed. It then refills and continues the process unassisted. I suppose this may be ok but I'd rather it flush the whole bed. Any ideas on how to tweak it?
