Throughout the day the other end from the bottle varied as much as 3/4 inch! Doesn't the extra surface area in the bottle exert greater pressure than the other plain hose end? Holding the plain hose end next to the bottle showed the hose end 1/4" above the bottle level. Guess I need to buy some expensive clear hose to ensure no air bubbles. I had flushed out the garden hose real well, but still ... Did use dish soap as wetter. Maybe my lot really is near a small slowly moving black hole :) Finn Blake Lewis wrote: > Using a two liter bottle on one end minimizes this effect.
