Some advice about air bubbles

Results of a user's survey about air bubbles in pumps

On this page, we include a survey conducted by one of our members, who takes a look at the problem of air bubbles in the tubing, among users of the various different pumps available. Her aim is to investigate if there is any particular correlation with the type of pump and the incidence of air bubbles. She also gives some useful tips on how to avoid air bubbles.

The survey is available as a pdf file below.

Nanette hopes to conduct a more detailed survey on the same issue in the future.
