<p>Ok here it goes, constant flow is the critical mass needed to garden aquaponics style,</p>
<p> The flow is more than the water moving, the flow is a result of extreme gardening, making a super amount of plants grow thru the super feeding of fish biology, constant flow can mean the water flow, it can also describe the ergonomics needed to make the fundamentals swing into high gear and keep it flowing in the spirit of the deal.</p>

<p>constant flow in 50 words or less : in my system i have 8 growbeds feed constantly by two pumps with auto siphon for drain so constantly filling and draining about 20 minutes to fill and about 5 minutes to drain constant flow?</p>

<p>Yes I agree.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Constant flow seems to me to be more a definition of pumping (and hence where much of the confusion comes in probably)</p>
<p></p>
<p>While when we talk about the grow beds Constant Flood would be a more appropriate term when we are talking about a media bed that doesn't drain down like it would in timed flood and drain or siphon flood and drain.</p>
<p>Yes I agree.</p>

<p>This discussion is great! Thank you guys for engaging with me in this as it is really helping to clarify some murky parts of my understanding of this. I don't think we need to get into a lot of detail about the specifics, since we aren't doing that for any of the other definitions, but Thanks to Rupert's outline for how to think about this it seems that are are really talking about two separate definitions here - <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Constant Flow…</span></p>
<p>This discussion is great! Thank you guys for engaging with me in this as it is really helping to clarify some murky parts of my understanding of this. I don't think we need to get into a lot of detail about the specifics, since we aren't doing that for any of the other definitions, but Thanks to Rupert's outline for how to think about this it seems that are are really talking about two separate definitions here - <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Constant Flow</span> (vs Intermittent Flow) which defines the pump action, and <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Constant Flood</span> (vs Flood and Drain) which is really a media bed construct where there is always a level of water and your water exits through an overflow vs a siphon or through timed action with the pump. Can we all agree to this?</p>
