Calcium reactor bubble counter fluid
 

Does anyone use something other than water to fill a bubble counter? Water seems to evaporate pretty quick and kind of a PIA to refill.
I think I remember somebody using glycerin maybe?

I use glycerine in my co2 bubble counter. WAAAAAAAAY easier to count bubbles too. :mrgreen:

Thanks man, I did find some more info at RC, I guess silicone oil is ok as well.

i use water never had a problem with it thou

Yah, I'm kind of confused, because mine never runs out of water ???

ya me too I think some one has a leak in their bubble counter.:eek:

I run 2 calcium reactors and use water in the bubble counter. I find I have to add water to the bubble counters about every 3 weeks to a month.
I am going to try glycerine next time.

When you start using higher bubble rates for higher output water evaporates a lot faster.

Well, I haven't had to add any water in two years. :lol:

It must be that heavy water up in the north.
