Bubbler AND pan washer?

[DMF]

Crazy question: We recently went to the Bascom's open house and talked with Tom(?) who does all sorts of welding and soldering of stainless. I was flipping through his photo album of projects had had done and came to what I assumed was a bubbler. When I asked him about it, he said "lots of people think that's what it is, but it was really a pan cleaner built for a specific customer."

Well....it got me thinking as to why couldn't it be used for both? Have a set of valves that allow either air to be injected when boiling or water to be injected for cleaning. Would this be possible? Has anyone tried such a thing?

Thanks!

That question might best be directed at Tom. Send Bascom an email and explain the seminar you attended at request him to answer this question. I't possible it can be dual purposed, as long as the proper input is there, but maybe it will not. I think the bubblers have air outlets every few inches along the bottom, maybe the cleaner has only one or fewer or maybe just the wrong size outlets for the second use. In that case, maybe 1 set up with 2 sets of tubes. At any rate, ask Tom?
