Visual flow indicator for water cooler

[sitka]

Something like the little glass bubble with peas in it on the side of old gas pumps. Any ideas, I can't think of anything.

how about glitter?

"Glitter" in the system would be obliterated within minutes by the pump, I think...

No idea for now, but I'll think about it. Interesting...

They have several kinds. Most are not cheap.

How about a clear viewing area with some sort of small spinning vane in it? you could judge the water flow by how fast the vane turned?

Just have to figure out how to build it or buy it. Geez it's hard enough machining aluminum and copper on a drill press. Anyways my latest thought was a solid clear tube with some Christmas tinsle fastened to the inside. It might wave back and forth like seaweed. Very soothing effect maybe? Or it will just get stuck to the side of the tube like a grand wad of snot. I'm off to the crawlspace to get some tinsel. Merry Christmas to all?
