Temporary Lack Of Bubble Counter.

[sub.42]

Ok,

So I now have a pressurised system, with the obvious lack of a bubble counter. Can I just disconnect the incoming hose to my co2 reactor, and count the bubbles there? Or am I marching off into unknown territory? It will be another week before I can get a bubble counter, so what the best bet? Any Ideas? Anybody come up with a really devious little temporary fix?

Thanks in advance.

PS going to be out all day today, so I won't be able to respond until later.

I did away with my bubble counter and did as you suggest and it works fine. I would use a anti-backflow valve to keep water out of the co2 setup.

I have just tried it and it works fine. I have been looking at the cheaper bubble counters, and to be honest, I think that I would be worried they might leak gas or water!
