There can be a build-up of salt [7] in a wicking bed. They must be flushed from time to time. Well-constructed beds with a good drain typically get flushed or diluted in heavy rain, which is not usually an issue. However, in a long-term drought, it is important to flush through the water occasionally.
Capillary action of water (polar) compared to mercury (non-polar), in each case with respect to a polar surface such as glass (≡Si–OH). Capillary action (sometimes called capillarity, capillary motion, capillary rise, capillary effect, or wicking) is the process of a liquid flowing in a narrow space without the assistance of external forces like gravity.

A candle wick works by capillary action, conveying ("wicking") the fuel to the flame. When the liquid fuel, typically melted candle wax, reaches the flame it then vaporizes and combusts. In other words, the wick brings the liquified wax up into the flame to burn. [1] The candle wick influences how the candle burns.
