The BubbleSnake evolved from the need to be able to clean things easier, while still doing a great job making tea. Over several years of heavy R&D, TeaLAB came up with a design that solves a number of problems, while also looking pretty cool. The BubbleSnake is a simple, easy, durable tool used to brew high quality compost tea. Here’s one of our favorite reviews: We recommend using a 1268GPH (or greater) air pump with the barrel sized BubbleSnake. “Best Value on the Market for Large Scale Compost Tea! I LOVE the Bubble Snake and am so glad I found it before I had purchased or built something else! The concept is so simple it’s brilliant! So easy to setup, use and clean too! I bought the large size because it is not that much more that the small size but it makes up to 10x more! Mine also came with a very nice laminated tea recipe and reference sheet that was a great extra. I have used mine three times and it has worked perfectly. I found a video on You-tube from TeaLabs that reviews the use and it covers some small tips that make the system even easier! I purchased the aerator, pump and bag and had not realized that the bag clips onto the aerator ring to hold into down in the water. So many quality details built into the product that I feel it will last for years. I use mine with my 45 gal Rain Barrel and it makes a GREAT system that is easy to brew and dispense the tea. I am hoping to figure out a way to pump the tea through a hose and then it will be perfect! Right now I can use the hose with my barrel but it is very slow. I usually just use the spigot to fill watering cans and apply it that way. Best design on the market for sure!” from Brenda C. on 8/26/15 – Now comes with 4 Feet of clear vinyl tubing (3/8″ID) to connect to air pump! Hooray!
