Bato Bucket Directions Not Making Sense

Received this as a gift from the wife, but not sure how it would work using this set up of 4 buckets with the reservoir. Maybe I’m missing something or not grasping the concept. Any help would be appreciated.

Pump in the reservoir will pump feed from the res up and out through those four feed lines and top feed the plants. The little elbows and pipes will allow some feed to stay in each container until your next feed as long as you time the feeds properly to the plant/root size.

So the water levels would equalize in the 5 buckets… Would that be below the drain on each bucket making it very shallow rez? Sorry I just can’t see it in my head…

Just put the buckets above the res.

I’m starting to see it now. Appreciate the patience I couldn’t wrap my head around those instructions for some reason.
