My local store, which became a national hub, had full time staff knocking these out the door. Until I got one, and realised it didn't work properly. Sent word back after modding it, and now the stands exist. Though I don't set them at an angle. Which is why mine is kinda sip, and could use a float to maintain it as such. I have other mods to maintain the level, stop root blockages, and quieten it down. The basic idea is great though.

I think they misunderstood why the stands are needed. As with the sip drawings, you need an air gap between the water, and the inner pot. Or the roots go to mush. There is no need to tip the bit out though. Or indeed, have them quite so high above the brain bucket. The pipe they use into the outer, is just a couple of inches, so tipping the roots to it, is illogical. The pipe needs to reach the center, so circling or dropping roots, don't go straight for it. After which, it's very reliable, but noisy. Mine... you hear the relays click. Only as it's the standard box still, not one of my own. Which are 12vdc, because it's a grow room.

Pebbles don't really hold enough water for a few hours between cycles. They have pots packed closely, indicating smaller plants, and no access routes. Most people are using 4 pots per meter, maybe less. They need a bit of water in the bottom. These are all things to think about, when running these systems. I can help anyone running into difficulties though. That noisy air hole that eventually blocks and floods the place, for example.
