DIY Bubble Counter
- Thread starter Callum

As promised, a DIY CO2 bubble counter tutorial. Really, really easy to make and very cheap. I did a pretty bad job of the silicone since I need a new gun but it works all the same!
You will need:
Airline Tubing
Electric Drill
6mm drill bit
Glass/plastic jar/container with a tight fitting lid
Silicone
Pair of scissors
First off, drill a couple of holes a few cm apart with the drill... (simple so far huh?
)
Thread the airline in to the lid (cut to length). One piece of airline should be higher up in the container than the other one. (Longer piece will deliver CO2 through the water and will flow in to the shorter piece).
*Carefully* (yes, unlike me
) silicone the tubing in place, making sure there is a nice seal around both tubes.
Wait 24hours for a nice seal, fill with water and wow, you're done!
Make sure you hook everything up correctly and put a check valve in place so you don't have your water back-siphoned. Hope this helps!
