S-bubble airlock type

Do you put water or sanitizer in these like the 3-piece airlocks? Or do you just put them on and let them sit? Rapid answer needed!! THanks in advance

Either water or sanitizer works fine.

Moonshine works too. Ahem, not that I would know firsthand, so you revenue
guys keep away.

Water, Vodka or Everclear. Depends on what I have laying around. Usually it's just water though.

I don't like those things. If you ever have a blowout and don't get to it the first day, you'll never get it cleaned out.

I think they look cooler than the cylindrical airlocks

Well then, by all means, that's what you should use

booooooo to the s-type airlock. my water never filled the chambers correctly. no matter how i tapped it or flipped it upside down the water never filled the second chamber.

The only problem I've had with them is getting them clean after a blow off, but I have larger containers now so that doesn't happen. They're both functional.

So that's why I'm not getting any bubbles then? I didn't have it full up (about half full), does this stop it working?

 

[mew]

No, there would still be bubbles.

I use sanitized water, from the same batch I sanitize all my equipment in. Fill it to halfway up each chamber of the airlock. (There should be a line on there)

no, i think it functions the same but i just like things to be exactly how i want them to be...how they look in the picture
