Have you ever wanted better CO2 diffusion into your planted aquarium but never really got the results from glass diffusers?
Well now is the time to change to our new Easy Aqua Super Mist Diffuser. They are quite incredible and we have never seen so many small CO2 bubbles from such a small area. It's done by creating a surface that is so compact that pressurised CO2 literally has to be forced out through the tiny pores on it. This makes your gas a lot more economical when using a Super Mist Diffuser compared to a glass diffuser. You see the smaller the bubble, the larger the surface area (relatively). Therefore if you are creating thousands of tiny bubbles compared to hundreds of larger one's, the smaller type win hands down.
This diffuser is only suitable for use with pressurised CO2 and you also need to have about 2 bar pressure. Anything less than that and it won't cut the mustard.

Hi Peter
Glad to hear you’re enjoying the excellent atomiser :)
I’ve not encountered any back pressure problems when using it on one of our systems. Can you explain your set up a little more for me so I can help?

Hi
Fitted the large atomiser and this works well at 1.5 bar and at 2bar, but how do you get the bubble counter to work against the back pressure generated by the atomizer inside the counter?
Thanks
You could try it with your existing bubble counter but it may still pop off. I recommend you change to a screw fix connection which is a lot more secure anyway. And the Easy Aqua Bubble Counter & Check Valve would work great for you!
Dear Richard
I take what you are saying,and been on your website looking at these items.
I forget to say i have a bubble counter, which has a push fitting connections.
So i presume i would have to change this to a screw fitting.
Would the easy aqua bubble counter & check valve be ok,or do you still suggest the easy aqua double check valve
Thanks again
Hi Robert
If your tubing blows off, that’s where the problem lies – before enough pressure can build up on the atomiser the weakness is exploited. You will need to use our AE Design Clear CO2 tubing, along with a decent non return valve such as the Easy Aqua type (tubing clamps onto this non return valve). Once you have used these, you will find the gas will pass through the entire system for long enough then out through the atomiser.
I hope this helps but let me know!
