Hey everyone.. So I am pumping water through a RECI 100W laser tube to test the flow etc. and I noticed tiny bubbles that accumulate around the outside of the cooling jacket. Also after running for a few minutes I noticed a lone bubble slowly making it's way to the outlet. I was curious in the tiny bubbles or the occasional lone bubble making it's way down the tube will cause havoc to the tube. I haven't adjusted the incline as Marco has noted, but I do have the outlet of the tube pointing upward. Any info would be appreciated. I have attached a couple of pictures for reference.

Thanks.
Chris

Hi chris
this tiny bubbles are always there if you start fresh and you have to wait till they are gone the big one is a problem it needs to be out no bubbles at all in a tube or you will destroy your tube . there where bubbles are the inner tube chamber will not be cooled.

Thanks Waltfl... So the small pin head size bubbles that accumulate around the laser will eventually go away if I let it run for awhile. So I should not run the while they are there or is it okay too?? The big one I figured was probably a problem. I'll keep an eye out for those.

Thanks again..
