For our bubbles demonstrations and bubble pit, we use J-lube. Works very well for bubble-making but don't know if it affects plumbing. Be forewarned that bubble juice made with this stuff is very slippery if it gets onto a hard floor.

I was summarily shut down with the reason that the glycerin would cause even more problems with the pipes. I argued that I was talking about 1 capful at each station (one station holds about 3 1/2 gallons, the other holds about 10), and at this dilution, it wouldn't really make a difference.
