UP online diffuser blocked?!

[Chrispowell]

hi all, had to stop my co2 for a few days as I noticed a leak and then cracked a peice of the splitter trying to tighten it up...

Anyway, 2 days later I tried to restart the gas and now can't get the co2 to diffuse through the diffuser. I can get gas through the line and if I put it under the water I get gas but once the diffuser is attached the pressure builds up and nothing comes out...?

Today I cleaned the UP diffuser with thick bleach and then soaked in citric acid but it hasn't fixed the issue...? Any ideas?

You could try soaking in vinegar for 24 hours then 24 hours in bleach. How did you fix the crack?

if you've cracked it you're going to be wasting Co2, also you'll struggle to get enough pressure for it to work at all.

Thanks, I have replaced the cracked part - but since then I have had issues.

I have seen they now sell online diffusers you can take apart to clean the ceramic.. Think I will invest/upgrade to these

Pressure needs to be increased I think!
2.15 bar minimum.
