I found this bubbler stone at www.hhoglabs.com
Does anybody know what it is or where it could be found? Obviously, I know what the hose barb part is, but I was hoping the air stone part may be something I could find locally.

You can get just the sintered brass filter part from Auto Zone. It is in the fuel filter department for $3.50. Other auto parts stores might carry them, but I only found them at Auto Zone. You can see one in this video I posted:

Look for the stone at bait shops, I use then to keep my minnows alive. Most bait shops have them becasue they break easy. I know bass pro shops have them.

Ceramic air stones will hold up in KOH and you have a variety of sizes. also but the HHOG's brass version is a good value IMO with less back pressure

What does it do?
1. Makes your bubblier safer by making the bubbles smaller. less chance of a daisy chain flashback
2. By making the bubbles smaller, It lessens the chance of KOH or NOAH staying suspended in the HHO gases, and possibly damaging down stream metals. (personally i believe a anti splash media like a roll of plastic Gutter Guard in your bubblier works better of this 2nd goal. Or adding it in addition too.

Amoeba Cell Dip Tube Bubbler

I copied this dip tube design from HHO Forums member DodgeViper. Thanks.
Use a 1/4" barb T and make a loop with tubing connected across the top.
Punch a lot of holes with a cork board push pin.
Many small bubbles really help in drying the HHO and in removing the KOH.
Works great!

I found the piece at my local autozone. I printed out the picture from the 1st post and took it into autozone and said "where can I find this"? I actually couldn't find it on the website, though.
It works really well for me. I bought 2 of them for each of my bubblers.

does it come with a female NPT thread? I guess it's gotta come with it so you can screw the fitting

No it doesn't, just a hole. The autozone one isn't the exact one in the picture. A 3/8" piece of vinyl tube just fits in it, and can be epoxied.
I just found the piece from the picture here though: http://www.jegs.com/p/Mr.+Gasket/745079/10002/-1
Maybe it is threaded.

That would be nice to know. The ones I got were pretty easy to work with though.
I can put them under water and blow as hard as I can without any back pressure, and they make tiny bubbles.

Seems like a lot of effort to save $9. Oh wait, those stones and fitting cost $____ . So ...:rolleyes:

I just wanted to find a place locally that carried them. I did, for $3.50, didn't have to pay or wait for shipping. Thanks to those who are helpful.

This bubbler stone idea looks like a worthwhile idea for use in my system. Will resort to it should my current application fail.
Thanks,
