Maintenance

Checked float system this a.m. CF=24 and it looks relatively down, may top off later today, but more likely I'll let it go into tomorrow to see how it is going. It was last topped off on 7/29 so that would be only 3 days ago and the question obviously is: How often will it have to be topped off as we get into the fruit development period. It's annoying to top it off every day. In a commercial system I'd have some sort of depth maintenance float valve system and an automatic doser. But manual maintenance, while not at all difficult, tends to mean you can't leave the system for a period longer than the replenishment time.
