Both my bubble counters water level is below the bubble outlet. Is this normal? Do you have to always keep refilling the water? Is this why some people use mineral oil? Does mineral oil get into the airlines? Should I reduce the pressure on my right hand gauge? It is now at 20 PSI.

Charlie warned me that it would evaporate so I switched to. He suggested glycerin, you can get it at the pharmacy. It is kinda thick and I find it makes it easier to count the bubbles when you have a higher bubble count.

glycerin is that like mineral oil? can you use mineral oil? I have mineral oil. I need to fill my bubble counters tonight now that the solenoid is off.
