Re: Metcal Power Supply testing?
The Metcal wand as I understand it, is just a length of flexible coaxial cable. Has anyone tried to home brew one? I have a stash of EBay tips that don't fit my MX500. Maybe thats a way to use

Re: Metcal Power Supply testing?
Both lights, red and green?
Normally, green is power, and if there is a red light, then that

Another possibility for the tank is to use a Storage Dispenser from
Walmart. The dispenser is the kind used for storing and dispensing cereal

Re: Bubble Tank DIY Plans
If you're adding H2O2 to the solution, you don't need bubbles to regenerate since the oxygen from the H2O2 will do the regeneration.
