## Overview

It produces large bubbles that create strong mixing currents to prevent sediment buildup in compost tea.

Proudly crafted in Humboldt County, California, it combines simplicity, durability, and performance to help you brew nutrient-rich compost tea with minimal hassle.

## Description

The BubbleSnake is an aerator for compost tea. There are holes in the bottom of the snake that are big enough so that large bubbles are created. The larger bubbles make mixing currents in the bucket, which helps avoid sedimentation in your compost tea. The best thing about the BubbleSnake is that it is so easy to use and clean. It has been developed by over time through feedback from real gardeners. Simple and effective, TeaLAB's unofficial motto. Connect the BubbleSnake to an air pump and you are ready to brew. We recommend the 715GPH air pump, or the 1100 GPH if you are at higher elevations or just want to "air" on the side of caution. Use a BubbleSnake to brew your best tea, the most efficient way possible. This tool is made to last. - 3 feet of clear vinyl tubing is now included with your BubbleSnake purchase. This 1/4"ID tubing will connect the BubbleSnake to your air pump.

Review: Great aerator for making tea! - I mean, I wouldn't drink the tea myself, but the gardens love the tea. ;) This is basically a PVC pipe bent and drilled. The thing that sets it apart is that it just fits and works for the job. Attached the top half to the bottom half by shoving them together, no need to glue. The ring at the top is where we hang the strainer bag for the tea to brew. We got some taps from here and put one in the bucket we got from the big box orange store. Since the aerator is plastic and would float, we found it best to twist it so it is under the valve to help hold it down while getting everything in place. Also, when you put the tap into your bucket, don't put it at the bottom to help minimize any sediment from getting stuck in your valve.
Review: Love this thing! - The bubble snake is a great addition to my tea making regimen. For all the reviews that say they can make it cheaper, blah blah blah, there is no way you can go to the hardware store and buy everything you need to make it, then come home and put it together, for the cost of this thing. It is a great piece of equipment, I have made several compost, worm/guano teas with this thing and it is worth every penny, easy to clean, great bubbles, hook for hanging tea bag, what more do you need, and did I mention easy to clean? Just remember the bungie cord, to hold it in the bucket, because this thing really makes some bubbles with the right pump. Thanks to tea labs for this 5 gallons model that I have. It took a few days to get here but it is quality! 5 stars in my opinion!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: will it work on a 793 gph ecopuls air pump**
A: That pump is strong enough.  The air tubing looks to be the same size.  If it's not, you can either use a simple hose clamp, or warm up the tubing to stretch it if the fit is tight.

**Q: What size diameter tubing do I need for the 5 gallon snake?  It is larger then standard aquarium airline and I've read it's 3/8" and 1/2"**
A: The 5 Gallon BubbleSnake comes with a fitting for 1/4" Inside Diameter tubing. Standard aquarium tubing is too small for the air pump we recommend.    If you would like a fitting for 3/8" tubing, just let us know in the comment section on your order.   We are more than happy to make it work for you.

**Q: Are the bubblesnake, bag, & tubing made from bpa free and food safe?**
A: Yes it is

**Q: Why does it cost 60% ($12) of the price to ship a piece of flex pvc to pennsylvania, that can be made for $7?**
A: It’s a system ready for the person who has no time to build one of his own you are getting the kit but if you can build one your self for less power to you.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Makes great compost tea
*by B***L on June 18, 2025*

Such a simple, but genius idea. I hooked mine up to a pump that might be a little stronger than necessary, but it is holding up great! The only issue is that it really wants to float when the bubbles start going. I used some shop string and the loop that is attached to the top of it and the sides of the bucket to hold it down inside the bucket, which worked much better than expected. I intend to use a brick next time. It made richer compost tea than not using anything at all--it was super dark and just looked happy. Any noise came from the pump I used. The bubbles sounded like a tiny spa. Would recommend.
