DennisP Posted June 29, 2012 Report Share Posted June 29, 2012 I bought a diffuser off trademe for a DIY co2 kit, connected it yesterday evening and still no bubbles are getting through. The co2 was going for a week before I attached the diffuser, so I'm not waiting for a reaction. Do I need to wait longer for pressure to build up? Is there a leak? Is the diffuser faulty?

zeebee Posted June 29, 2012 Report Share Posted June 29, 2012 You may not have enough pressure, there may be a leak somewhere. If you attach an air pump to it, it should diffuse air. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DennisP Posted June 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2012 Airpump is broken, so I blew into the hose connected to it. No luck... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DennisP Posted June 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2012 Played around with the piping a little, and removed a possible leak. Shook the bottle and gave it a squeeze... and DIFFUSION! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FraserNZ Posted June 30, 2012 Report Share Posted June 30, 2012 Some defusers are made for high pressure setups and will not work on DIY. If you can't get bubbles when you blow on it chances are you won't get enough pressure from a DIY setup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DennisP Posted June 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2012 Thats what I'm thinking now too... Might invest in another one... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
