In-line Diffuser

[SchottayB]

I don't know if it's just me or what?

But does your In-line diffuser work fine when it's full of water? or does it need to have no water in to work correctly?

I ask this because I haven't used it for a few weeks, and recently got a co2 bottle filled up. Set it up and it never went through the diffuser it just popped off the one way valve. I took the diffuser off, got rid of the water that was inside, hooked it back up and it worked.

I'm guessing it's got water in because it hasn't been used for a few weeks.

But is that correct? 'It won't work with water in'.?

Mine struggled when it got water in too so maybe thats normal.

forcing co2 through the ceramic will be easier than forcing water through it. Any remaining water (retained water) in the ceramic will just reduce the permeability and reduce its efficiency.

yep i have this when my co2 turns of at night, obviously the inline diffuser fills up with water, it only takes a few extra minutes for the co2 to push that water through the diffuser and then itself through not an issue in my mind, takes like 1 or 2 minutes for me, and i am running at 2bps. unless my inline diffuser has an issue i do now know about
