Fill the Water Barrel, Get Ready to Plug

4. Fill the Water Barrel

Place the water barrel on your countertop within reach of an electrical outlet. Insert the water pressure tube into the hole at the bottom of the barrel. Read about adjusting this tube later on page 10.

The sprinkler turns on and off several times per hour.

Fill the water barrel with pure water up to about 1-1

½inches from the top. Use pure water or the same water you use for cooking and drinking. Do not immerse the water barrel in water.

5. Put the Two Barrels Together

Set the sprout barrel on top of the water barrel. Align the sprout barrel until it is securely seated. Test the unit: plug it in and look for a fountain of water springing from the top of the green tube. If not, reseat the barrel until it makes a good connection.

6. Get Ready to Plug In

Place the sprinkler head on top of the green tube and plug the unit into an electrical outlet. The water should flow through the sprinkler and out its holes. Place the cover on top of the unit to maintain warmth and humidity. The sprinkler will spray intermittently several times per hour. Change the water in the water barrel at least once daily.

7. Harvest Time—When to Pick Your Crop

After 4 days of growth, the top tray was removed exposing the sprouts to light.

Harvest time is usually between 5 and 8 days, de- pending on seed variety (see chart p.11 ). For leafy green sprouts, this is when 90% of the crop has dropped its hulls (seed jackets). They are at their peak when the leaf develops a cleft (divides in two). Grab your sprouts about halfway down and wiggle them out, roots and all, or pull the whole tray out of the barrel. Rinse the sprouts to remove any hulls hanging onto the roots. Although hulls are edible, they can detract from taste. Now, clean the tray (see instructions p. 9)

This makes it an excellent choice for early risers or those who prefer a peaceful juicing experience. The machine's low RPM (revolutions per minute) ensures that the juice retains its natural flavors and colors, making each glass a delightful treat for the palate.

Another standout characteristic of the Tribest FL-3000 is its versatile design. It features a wide feeding chute, allowing users to feed in whole fruits and large vegetable pieces without extensive preparation. This saves time and effort, making the juicing process more convenient. The unit also comes with multiple strainers, enabling users to customize the pulp levels in their juice, catering to individual preferences for a smoother or more textured drink.

Moreover, the FL-3000 showcases a compact and stylish design, making it an attractive addition to any kitchen countertop.
