Just wondering what everyone uses to carry the air from blower to bubbler system. Am considering pvc pipe,but concerned about solvent and glue smell being blown into the sap,better off to bite the bullet and spend the extra on stainless,or am I worried about something that I don’t need to be?

I used pvc pipe to the back of evaporator then copper with no problems with taste or odor

Bruce - My H20 Innovation air injection-bubbler system came with 2" stainless pipe and Tri Clover connections, eliminating chance of glue or plastic/pvc fumes.
Also had a charcoal filter to minimize any air-borne pollutants.

Good luck this year - John

From experience I would plumb in SS. If you forget to turn on your bubblers blower before the pan starts to boil your pvc pipe will turn into spaghetti.

Yes...it is a good idea to have a charcoal filter and to be really careful where you put the air intake. You don't want it near animal areas or near a fuel tank or area where engines are running.
