Keith, It seems my bubble stones clog up with soap and sometimes with bd. A basketball pin (I think that's what it's called) is the thin metal tube you insert into a basketball or any other ball to inflate it. I'm thinking that to make a jet of air in water, a strong pump is needed. But

Hi all: Could you give your input on this? How about using a basketball pin and a portable air compressor (the kind used to inflate tires) to deliver a jet of air into a bd wash tank? I found that using aquarium type bubble stones tend to clog up after a few wash. Do you think this idea could

How were you able to know that your ffa's increase? If you are just using a pH meter, it is but natural that the pH will fall since you are using a strong acid H2SO4. If you are titrating with NaOH, H2SO4 will eat up a considerable amount of lye. Christopher =-Original Message- =From:
