Questions & Answers
A plug with a 1/4" inside diameter is included with the 5 Gallon BubbleSnake. We recommend using the air pump that we recommend instead of the aquarium tubing. Just let us know in the comment section on your order if you want a fitting for 3/8" tubing. If that works for you, we are glad to make it happen.
The answer is yes
If you can build one by yourself for less then that is great, but if you need the kit it is there for any of us who do not have time to build one on our own.
Basically, the BubbleSnake produces large bubbles that oxygenate the water completely. When a surface tension in water is broken, oxygen is able to dissolve into the water, allowing it to hydrate. a lot of bubbles would be beneficial to this. In addition, they also allow for a better mixing of currents in the vessel, resulting in a minimum amount of sedimentation. It is my sincere hope that this helped. In a Lab

Although the design is simple, I find it pleasing to the eye There are just a few minor issues that I could easily fix. 1 -
. The pump I use is very powerful, with a flow rate of 1700 gph, thus without a counter weight to hold it down like a bag loaded with amenities hanging, it will not even stand on its own. It's just a heavy padlock that I use to reach the weight I need so I can unlock it The water I use to brew is chlorinated before I start. Weights can prevent the whole thing from tipping over, and therefore it won't pump properly without them. There is a simple solution to a simple problem. Please note "2. Neither the black coating on PVC nor the white PVC appeals to me. When the pieces are stuck for a second and you need to break them free, it makes it difficult to remove them. You kind of feel like it's going to break when you're removing the pieces repeatedly. My water containers have to be cleaned frequently because I have to scrape off the coating. As a result, I purchased a barrel sized version with the same high-quality materials. Looking forward to receiving both this week, as well as the compost bag. The last one I received had a handwritten note attached as well as some free mystery seeds which I would be growing after harvest. The note was nice to have, and other than making me feel like I was just another customer, it made me feel like I was a special person. Please accept my sincere thanks. Using simplicity and a clever design, this is simplicity at its finest. My hope is that our business will grow in the future.
It's a little pricey for the components it contains. There is nothing better than this thing. For what it is, the components are expensive, but the design is well worth it. The equipment I use and a 3x8" air stone in my 5 gallon bucket allow me to brew tea continuously. In the refrigerator, add vermicompost, garden soil, and an alfalfa pellet. I add molasses and rock dust after 12 hours, and every 12 hours after that. After 24 hours, I cannot see through the microbes under the microscope. As long as I keep it going, I will have more paramecium than I can count by 250x in two days.
In order to operate the pump, you will need a 1/4 inch tubing pump that can provide enough air and can be connected to it. Check out the recommendations in the product description for more information. With an aerator like this, a standard aquarium pump will not work. When I connected the pumps, I was able to brew a bubbly tea over three days once the vigorous bubbles filled the pump space.
In spite of all the reviews that claim she can make it cheaper, blah blah blah, there is not a way that you can go to your local hardware store and buy all the materials then come home and assemble it for the cost of this kit. It is a great piece of equipment, I have made several compost, worm, and guano teas with it and I really like how large the bubbles are and the hook for hanging the tea bag. What more do you need, and did I mention it is You just need to remember the bungie cord to hold this in the bucket, as that thing really produces bubbles when it is used with the correct The 5 gallon model I have from Tea Labs took some time to arrive but it is of great quality! Thanks for such fast shipping! It's a 5 star rating for me!.
Bungie works well, but the pressure and vibration on the bubble snake will push it up and make it fall. If I don't use a bungie it will push up and fall over. We used an elemental pump with a capacity of 951 gph.
As a result, a huge amount of aeration was produced. The teas I brewed with these were excellent for worm tea. The aeration is so strong in a five gallon bucket that they had to be tightly tied down with According to another article, you can tie bungee cords around the tire. Although I likely could have reduced the air pressure, the idea is to maximize the air flow. The tape worked well, so it all worked out fine.
There is supposed to be a complete circle of bubbles at the bottom of the bucket with this product. Even when I turn the air on or not, the 5 gallon bucket fills up with water so that only the top air hole works when I place it in the bucket of water. It took me at least a week to get back to the company after I asked for help on the website. Likewise, I sent a message to the email address listed on the website. No reply. There is something very wrong with me. We would have appreciated a little customer service. Customer service has yet to demonstrate its potential. It is real. It might work if you have a massive air pump that can pump out tons of air, but who needs that when you have 5 gallons to fill? I assume this should work with smaller pumps too, don't you think? As far as I am concerned, this is a waste of money.
The design and engineering of this product were excellent. Airstones, which clog, are not comparable to the materials used here, as they are durable and quality. This granular compost tea maker is easily cleaned and assists in providing oxygen for I'm very happy with my purchase!.
