Adding turbulence to worm condenser

[Asedefecio]

Well, looks like i have a small aquarium air pump lying around. It is really small, 3W I think.
However, it can make decent bubbles and turbulence, and my worm recipient isnt very large either, around 10L.

I guess that at worst it wont make any difference, and at best, hell, it may even double the efficience, considering that a worm condenser doesn't have a lot of flow, more that the water in/out flow.

I'll probably make some tests when I finish my still. Has anyone tried something like this before?

How exactly do you plan to do this? Just make bubbles around the worm? I don't understand...

[Asedefecio]

The pump has a small tube, and I plan to sink it to the bottom and leave it there in the whole run.
The diagram will surely explain it better

Whats the worst thing it could happen

That idea would reduce the efficiency of the flake stand... If you research flake stands you would learn that a flake stand should have a temperature gradient from top to bottom with the top being steaming hot and the bottom remaining cold... Bubbles would make the entire flake stand the same temperature, which is less efficient... Hot at the top, cold at the bottom... <Repeat> <Repeat>

Welp. It least I tried.

You can still use that air pump for your washes so its not useless to the hobby!

[Asedefecio]

You mean to aerate the wash prior to the anaerobic phase?

[T-Pee]

Yup.
