A bubble generator comprising:
- a container including a side wall and a top wall defining a cavity;
- an insert located within the cavity defining a gas path with a trap portion, the gas path being in communication with an exit in the container;
- the cavity including an opening receiving a gas accumulating within the cavity, the gas path allowing the accumulating gas to escape through the exit once the accumulating gas reaches a predetermined level proximate the trap portion.
A bubble generator system comprising:
- a bubble generator providing intermittent pulsed air bubbles in large bubble events including a container having an opening adjacent a lower edge of the container receiving gas from an aeration source spaced below and not in contact with the container, the gas from the aeration source entering the container through the opening free of any connecting conduit;
- and
- a skirt extending outwardly from the container to guide gas from the aeration source into the opening of the container.
A bubble generator system comprising:
- a large bubble generator accumulating a gas and intermittently releasing the majority of the gas,
- a sensor detecting the release of the large bubble event.
