If the tiny bubbles in the
tank are driving you nuts, then the bubble catcher might be a
thing for you, its cheap and easy to make.
The bubble catcher is
placed in the sump and are designed to take in bubble filled
water, separate the bubbles and return to water to the sump.
What you need is.
1 circulation pump
Rubber tubing (to connect
the pump)
A PVC coil about 25 inches
long
A PVC coil ending
- Connect the coil ending
to the PVC coil. This is the bottom of the bubble catcher.
- Drill two holes for the
rubber tubing (which is the same diameter as the pump outlet.)
- One hole is drilled in
the top of the reactor (about 7 inches from the top of the
reactor)
- Another hole is drilled
a few inches from the bottom of the reactor.
- The pump is connected
to top hole, this will become the inlet.
- Rubber tubing is
connected to the bottom hole and the tube lead back to the
return pump chamber in the sump.
Now your bubble catcher is
complete and ready for setup and use.
The bubble water is pumped
into the chamber where the bubbles will rise to the top of
cylinder and the bubble free water will leave the bottom of the
cylinder and go back into the sump.
Good
luck.
