Two muon telescopes of cubic design were constructed and are operated in Bulgaria for studying the variations of cosmic rays muon flux. A 1m2 telescope is located at Basic Environmental Observatory (BEO) - Moussala - 2925 m above sea level and is in operation since August 2006. The other muon telescope, with effective area 2.25 m2, is located at the South-West University - Blagoevgrad - 383 m above sea level. Its data acquisition system was upgraded in November 2007. Both instruments use developed by our team cost effective and easy for production water Cherenkov detectors. In this paper the following topics are presented: (a) description of the instruments (detectors construction and setup, data acquisition system); (b) main characteristics of the instruments (energy thresholds, count rates, barometric coefficients, asymptotic directions); (c) response to primary cosmic rays protons - results obtained from simulations with Planetocosmics code; (d) some examples of experimental results - the Forbush Decrease in November 2003, registered by the muon telescope at the South-West University and the Forbush Decrease in December 2006, registered by the muon telescope at BEO - Moussala, the diurnal variation.
