Bubble Counter & Fresh Water

[marie]

My new calcium reactor automatically fills the bubblecounter with salt water, a great feature that I wish my old one had

You can also use glycerin, (called bubble counter fluid) it doesn't evaporate as fast in bubble counters that don't fill themselves.

Filling it with fresh water is a PITA. Only reason I asked. Didn't want to bother unless some had a real good reason to fill it with FW.
Sounds like others use SW so SW it is.
Thanks everyone.

Interesting. I simply filled my GEO calcium reactor with SW and the bubble counter gets filled along with eveything else. Since you just have to know how many bubbles you have relative to your last adjustment to dial in the reactor you only need to have the bubbles going through the same medium each time. The medium itself doesn't really matter as long as it is the same thing.

My Geo is the same but my K2R you have to manually fill it when it evaporates kind of a pain in the butt. The glycerin helps, it lasts alot longer.
