Aerovoir issues

For the last few weeks I would walk by one of my gardens and hear the water running. To me that is a sign The Aerovoir is empty or stopped filling my garden. I give the primer ball several pumps look for air bubbles and walk away. This turned into a habit and after a week or so stopped working at all. I have space issues so I tee most of my Aerovoirs  to fill 2 gardens. I checked all that and it was filling the other garden just fine. Finally had to take it all apart. I found 12 inches of roots so dense as to not let water through the line. I could not even pull the roots out , blow the roots or, try to make a fitting with my hand and use water pressure from the sink to push them out. They were really stuck. I had to use weed wacker line to push the roots out. Turned out that stuff is the perfect size to snake through your water lines.
