    Dear all

    Took out my atomizer over weekend and soaked in hydrogen peroxide overnite and while washing off the next morning, I kept on rubbing the atomizer ceramic plate as they were dead brown remaining algae stains.

    Just read from online sources that the ceramic plate should not be touched, this I have not only touched but rubbed hard and furious.

    may I know whether I have spoilt or damage the atomizer or what is the side effects of touching or rubbing ceramic plate?

    Thks.

    If it can't be touched, wonder if there's better way to clean it? I have experienced soaking in peroxide but the "stains" need scrubbing. So far mine still looks fine with the bubbles. But not sure how many times it can withstand the scrubs!! Hopefully someone with more experience can share.

    I soak mine in bleach for a few hrs n rinse it clean. Works for me that way.

    Store your peroxide in mini spray bottle, spray it everytime you do water change, mine is always white without touching

    Please remember to always handle your Atomic CO2 diffuser carefully. Install and remove the tubing carefully. Do not touch the ceramic.
    Monitor and clean your diffuser regularly. Observe the performance and appearance of your diffuser. The in-tank type CO2 diffuser should be cleaned approximately every 2-3 weeks, or sooner if needed. Clean the in-line type diffuser approximately every 6 months, or as needed.
    Clean atomic diffuser carefully with mixture of 3 parts water to 1 part bleach. Never rub ceramic.
    Leave diffuser to soak for 30 minutes.
    Rinse diffuser carefully with fresh water, do not rub or touch ceramic of diffuser.

    Recommended to have one spare while the other is soaking. After you rub the ceramic, it will diffuse less CO2 or none. I found it the hard way.
    I think when you rub the ceramic, the stuff on the ceramic get rub into the tiny holes on the ceramic.
