Default 11 plant system

ok , this may be a stupid question,,,using your 11 plant system, the pump (controlled by the timer) pumps the water up into the bottles right?, my question is, after the water is pumped i assume that the water drains back into the bucket, so how often should the pump run??-please tell me if i've gotten it all wrong--joe

Yes you got it right joe. You only need to let the water rise in the bottles and then drain immediately every 20 minutes or so. But if you are using a 30 minute on timer then I would water less often or you might have the same problem as the previous question,
root rot.
