Compost Tea Aerator -Barrel Sized Aerator - The BubbleSnake

This product will not only save you money but time, when using air stones you have to clean each and every air stone this basically minimizes that and does the work of 4 air stones ran it in my 30 gal and works perfectly

This is the best way to go. If you build your pin it will cost you more unless you have some old hoses or pvc laying around. These work great. Very durable

The bubblesnake is exactly what I needed to agitate my nutrient solution and add oxygen to the water. It works great. I am using a Vivosun 1130 GPH air pump. Its been a great combination. This particular batch is only 20 gallons, but i have made 50 gallon batches of compost teas and the bubblesnake and the Vivosun pump kick ass.

Product is great been using it for years. Hook it up to an eco air 5 and put an 8” air disc hooked up to a eco air 3 in your 55 gallon barrel and your making awesome teas. Only failure by the company is they ship with a 4’ hose, so just might as well not ship with one at all or they don’t understand the what their consumers needs are. Easy fix just buy a 10’ 3/8” tube elsewhere....

It is 5 stars for the moment. I am brewing my first tea with it. It's bubbling like crazy. I thought I'd post a photo of my setup. I did not use a garbage can because I was worried the tea would slosh out on the ride out to the garden, even with a lid on. I picked up this 35 gallon container from Tractor Supply for $90 and bought a 3/4" spigot and extension pipe. Since the barrel is sideways and is so much shorter vertically than a garbage can, I cut the middle piece of the BubbleSnake down to about 2" and connected the bottom and top piece with that 2" piece that used to be about a foot long. The pump is under the porch eave to keep it out of the weather and the BubbleSnake is connected to it with a 30' clear air hose. I do not know if that length of hose is a problem for the motor, but I can tell you that the BubbleSnake is bubbling like crazy in that barrel.I bought the Elemental Solutions 1268 gph, 72W pump. Getting the tea bag through the hole takes a bit of working it it through, but was not a problem. I used 8 oz. of unsulfured molasses and the tea bag is a mixture of worm castings and alfalfa pellets. I hope this makes my veggies happy.

The media could not be loaded. Worked very well and got good results

Makes great tea! Just needs an easy way to keep it from floating up when in the barrel. I used some bungee cords and scrap lumber to secure it. Overall worth it!

3 stars because it took forever to get it... as per the product itself I've brewed 5 batches in a 35 gallons trash cans and just be warned you need a kick ass pump, I ended up having to upgrade to a O2 Commercial pump rated at 1268 gph
