• What is an Automatic Bell Siphon and what is its purpose in aquaponics?

An Automatic Bell Siphon is a device used in flood and drain aquaponics to regulate the water levels in a grow bed. It works by automatically creating a siphon once the water reaches a certain height, allowing the water to drain out and then refill, repeating the flood and drain cycle.
