Water would work well. I used water in a hospital drip set as a bubble counter.
I read somewhere that glycerin can be used. More viscosity - slower transit of bubbles |

Glycerine will have much better looks than just plain water.
The viscosity of glycerine sends the Co2 up  bubbles up in slow motion.
A plastic Chinese bubble counter will cost only you a couple of $.

I had no problems with it, but I was using it with a DIY setup. I don't know how well they will handle pressure |
