  1. Ok so got my fill and drain pieces, got circle hole bit size it told me to. But now it is to big of hole and doesn't fit how can I remedy this problem like how can I make them for water tightly.
     
  2. If the hole you made is too large, either get a larger fitting or patch the hole and to it correctly.
     
    Measure twice, cut once.
     
  3. Lol yea I should measure twice this time I jus went with instructions lol wats best way to patch
     
  4. I use O rings for small gaps
     
  5. Wat I was gonna try thx
     
  6. What size fitting are you using and what size hole did you drill?
     
    What size hose are you using? Maybe you can just go up a size and use a reducer at the pump connection. Larger hose makes for faster flooding and faster draining, which makes the table more efficient (in my experience). If you're using 1/2 inch tubing, I would personally up to 5/8 or 3/4 inch. If your using the 3/8 tubing I would definitely up it to at least 1/2 inch ID.
     
    They also make fittings with with wider flanges and flat rubber washers that will work if the hole is just a little too big.
     
  7. Yea like 2 pieces of paper thick gap really small jus o rings that can with it are not big enough to make up for it
     
  8. 1/2" tubing the fitting was 1" and said to use 1" hole bit which I did and just barely off
     
  9. Use silicon. I made my ebb and grow bucket the floater hole a little to big and it start leaking, I just seal it up with water resistant sealant.
