I love, and hate, my Aqua C...it sure beats a seaclone

The microbubbles probably won't go away without the bubble trap. I've had the bubble trap on a month and still see some bubbles.

The sound is atrocious but fixable. I used a sheet of paper towel that I folded just large enough to cover the spray adapter and soaked the towel in RO. I then placed the towel over the spray nozzle and put collection cup back on, it is now SILENT. I'm thinking about emailing the company and telling them to put a small hinged peice of acrylic over that to dampen the sound.
