Evening all.
Anybody else having trouble with these?
My first was great and produced fantastic micro bubbles but I snapped it trying to get it off the co2 pipe. £15 inc. delivery straight in the bin - bah !
This one is okish but not a patch on the last and after a 30 minute dip in 50/50 thin bleach and water whilst still on (then 30 min swish in tap+dechlorinator) its pushing bigger bubbles from a round the rim.
I get why these are big sellers as when good the bubbles are so small they must offer extra time in suspension before either absorbtion, dissipation or reaching the surface. However, I’m starting to get very tired of shelling out and just hoping I didn’t get a Friday afternoon one.
Problem is they’ve more or less cornered the market on micro bubbles as far as I can make out.
Inline not an option on the above rig.
Starting to fall out of love with co2/high tech. It’s come a long way but it’s still a faff; seals , tubes, diffusers etc.Feels like its still quite a wild west market of mixed and inconsistent gear. Some may have no problem dropping big $$ on these things all the time but beginning to feel like it’s a bit of mugs game somehow.
I want at least a year out of a given diffuser, no ambiguity, no excuses or its just expensive trash.
Rant over
