Bubble Tube or Color Column Set Up
Filling The Bubble Tube
Before filling or emptying water from the bubble tube, unplug the cart from the electrical outlet.
Remove the white or black cap and pour distilled water into the column using a bucket.
Water Quality
Avoid any location with direct sunlight. This will encourage the growth of algae.
Water born bacteria can easily develop in water. We strongly recommend the use of BCB
additive (MS3707). Pour 1 oz. per 36" of bubble tube directly into the column once a month or
when the water is changed in the tube. BCB additive is formulated and based on the proven
Bronopol Biocide. It restricts formation of green algae and prevents infection risks from general
bacteria including Pseudomonas species and Legionella.
It is essential that water quality and cleaning guidelines are followed to ensure control of water
borne bacteria and pump longevity. Failure to do so may void the warranty and guarantee.
We suggest a regular schedule of cleaning. A good idea would be to replace your water every
three months. However, if the water becomes cloudy, this should be done more frequently.
Emptying Your Bubble Tube
You will need a 10 gallon bucket or two 5 gallon buckets, a Bubble Tube Pump and Hose (EX6109)
• Insert the long length of tube into the Bubble Tube. Make sure the tube reaches the bottom of the
Bubble Tube
• Connect the other end of the tube to the foot pump
• Connect the short tube to the foot pump
THE ARROW ON THE PUMP SHOWS THE DIRECTION OF WATER FLOW DURING USE
• The other end of the short tube should be placed in a bucket or other suitable emptying vessel
• Press the foot pump continuously (ensure it is on the floor) until you detect water flow into the bucket
• At this point you will be able to stop pressing the foot pump as the siphon action will take over
from the manual pumping
The Color Column requires no set up.
