Bubble Magic All Mesh Extraction Bags 20 Gallon, 8 Bag Set

Choosing 20 Gallon Bubble Bags Over the Smaller Body

Capacity is the reason to go up and it is not the only consequence. A twenty gallon body holds a much larger charge of material and a much larger volume of iced water around it. More water means the bath holds its temperature longer through a run, which is the quiet advantage nobody mentions. A small bath warms up while you work and warm water costs you quality. The screens themselves are identical to the smaller set. Eight bags run 220, 190, 160, 120, 90, 73, 45 and 25 micron, and they nest in that sequence with the coarsest screen at the top. The same all-mesh construction applies here, so water leaves through the entire bag surface. That matters more at this size, because twenty gallons drained through a bottom panel is a long wait. Seams are double stitched with heavy nylon thread. Plan the handling before the first run. A full bag at this scale is heavy and wet and awkward in a way a five gallon bag never is.

Micron Bands, Vessel Choice and Handling at This Scale

Work out where the bags are going to sit before you start. This size wants a vessel with room to agitate around the bag rather than a bucket the bag exactly fills. A tight vessel turns agitation into compression, and compressed material sheds plant matter instead of resin. Keep the water cold throughout and top up with ice rather than letting the bath drift. Pull each bag in turn and let it drain properly before lifting it clear. The band people generally keep runs from about 120 down to 73. The 190 and 160 catch coarse material, while the 45 and 25 take the smallest heads with more fine debris alongside them. Separating those fractions is the whole point of running eight screens instead of three. Rinse each bag immediately after use while the resin is still wet. Hang them fully dry before storage so the seams do not grow mould.

Key Features

• Screens: Eight bags at 220, 190, 160, 120, 90, 73, 45 and 25 micron
• Body size: Twenty gallon, for a heavier charge than the five gallon set
• Thermal mass: A larger bath of iced water holds temperature through a run
• Construction: All mesh on every wall rather than a panel in the base
• Drainage: Full surface drainage, which matters at twenty gallons
• Seams: Double stitched with heavy nylon thread
• Vessel: Wants room to agitate around the bag, not a tight fit
• Target band: Around 120 down to 73 is where most keepers land
• Care: Rinse wet, then hang to dry fully before storing
• Smaller option: The same eight screen set also comes on a five gallon body
