ballcock valves for bongs

[radiks32]

im sure someone has already thought of this, but in a bong cooler you need to refill it. i have seen ones with auxiliary water tank on the side. im thinkin that what you could do is get some air conditioner pipe( that flexi copper stuff) and run it to a water pipe, and then go to a hardware store and buy a ballcock valve(a toilet valve that lets the water in when it all goes out of the tank)
and set it up in your bong tank so that when the water level gets down a little the valve will open and more water will fill up the tank, that way, you never need to refill it

Welcome to the forums radiks32!

Yup, I've seen it referenced a couple of times, and even included it in my superbong design. I haven't built it yet, but some day....

yep, all us bongers have rounded the issue a few times around here, welcome to the club my friend. Only issue with using tap water or ground supply, is the corrosion it will create in the system. if you could filter, deionize, and treat the water prior to it's introduction to the system, you'd be in the best shape, or go with a setup like diggr's got going there, where you use the input water to cool copper lines which contain the water you use in the cooling circuit, it's known as a liquid-to-liquid heat exchange system. I like the idea really, just not really practical for my uses, i'm sticking with the hard way of refilling when it gets low, my 6gallon bong needs water about once every 2 weeks, a gallon at a time, so it's not a huge burden. gives me a chance to inspect everything inside the reservoir for the bong. happy bonging, and don't smoke it all at once.
