Open up fresh tabs (you may want to flood first, but with this method it matters little) or windows (using the room= URL links); two for Room 1, three for Room 2, and three for Room 3.
Submit the following into each consecutive tab but do NOT click Go yet!
1. http://neopets.com/altador/plant.phtml?room=1&act=r1v1
2. http://neopets.com/altador/plant.phtml?room=1&act=r1v2
3. http://neopets.com/altador/plant.phtml?room=2&act=r2v3
4. http://neopets.com/altador/plant.phtml?room=2&act=r2v4
5. http://neopets.com/altador/plant.phtml?room=2&act=r2s1
6. http://neopets.com/altador/plant.phtml?room=3&act=r3s2
7. http://neopets.com/altador/plant.phtml?room=3&act=r3s3
8. http://neopets.com/altador/plant.phtml?room=3&act=r3s4
Take a deep breath. Refresh tabs/windows (using the actual refresh key or browser button rather than the link above the pictures) like a Mad Plumber Wizard, orderly or randomly.
The "point" of this being (if there is any to all of this?) is to now maximize your "click effects" since order and logic do not seem to matter, this ensures you can more easily hit those "odds" of the "right" sequence. By refreshing using the browser button or keyboard key, you are refreshing the ACTION, not the room of any prior action that may have caused an effect. The links above the rooms refresh the room proper (to observe the effect of another room after you clicked anything). However, observing the water flow, changes, etc. does not seem to matter, despite the puzzle seemingly trying really hard to do that.
This is a method of last resort. Good luck to all.

I was just about to give up, and told a family member whose birthday is today " there are three rooms (showed her the rooms), just go in wherever and muck around" - I went to make a cup of coffee.
She yelled "What's this" - It was the congratulatory page!
What did she do?
Start: xx | xxU | UDU
Went into room 3
changed levers to DUU (left to right)
Went into room 2
changed lever to D
clicked left valve once
clicked right valve once
Went into room 1
clicked LEFT valve 3 times
clicked RIGHT valve once
Got congratulatory page.
Final settings: ++ | ++D | DUU
Please note:
* I still had Astronomy Club equipped to my active pet from trying out WockyChocky's theory
* It was AFTER midnight NST time (approx 12.30 AM)
Total time <45 seconds
To say I'm stunned is an understatement. I only hope you can achieve a similar breakthrough.
EDIT:
Room 1 - no water
Room 2 - Water in right vat
Room 3 - water in vat + top right channel

Thanks all for being so concerned and willing to help brainstorm with me.

Roll one to determine which room, then roll another a few times to choose some switches, etc. It will take your thinking out of it and let you blindly stumble into it. That's the only way anyone has done it yet....

Sorry, it just amused me and I had to share ._. *sitting patiently waiting for next clue* ^^;

Except anjuna + Avast. All brains and arms have failed or given up.
It's really fun now to just watch the water keep changing. I feel like I should be given The Specialist prize for keeping the water flowing so nicely in Altador.
