Turbokeu, that's almost exactly along the lines of i what i wanted to make. how much did it cost you for parts? and i'm assuming you mount that w/ the pipe fittings facing down correct? great idea.

Instead of using a tap to put a sliver of thread in the bottle you could better use a bulhead fitting. They were about US$5 for a 3/4" outside thread, 1/2" inside thread. You would only have to make a circular hole in the bottle. Just make sure it fits through the neck of the bottle.
Best thing to catch the bubbles is to rout the water through the bottle though.
