I guess you'd call it a Copper(II)Chloride generator?

I'm getting things ready to strip the foils off of goldfingers and made this.
It's two 2 gallon buckets, one perforated for the inner and the outer has a vet hole for generated gasses.
Inside there's 1/4 air tubing with #60 holes drilled in it for aeration with small bubbles.

Do you know what material the hose is made out of ?.

Over time some plastics will degrade from the hydrochloric.

Polyethylene.
I am concerned about that as well and am going to soak a piece in a dish full of solution before I run it for the first time.

That's exactly what I've been using. Works great. I used a transparent outer bucket to see the condition of the acid and build up of white slimes.

Sweet idea!

This was how I learned to recover gold. Using exactly this setup. My buckets are still good from 2011, so you don't have a lot to worry about.

Well damn! I didn't think of checking to see if the plastic fittings I used on the poly hose were acid proof. I opened the lid when I got home feom work this evening and found that the AP solution ate the tee fitting I used on the nice circular aerator I made .
I deleted that and just dunked the hose down to the bottom.
Lesson - Check ALL parts used for compatibility with a system.
