Removing Bleach Below The Ceramic Of Glass Diffuser

[David]

Hi Everyone

I bleached my glass diffuser two weeks ago. I poured some bleach on top of the ceramic to get rid of green algae stuck to it. It was as good as new...problem is, some of the bleach got to the bottom.

I tried shaking it... Some came out but most of the bleach is still stuck at the bottom. Tried pumping water in, no joy. The only way I could do it is to put the whole diffuser into a cup of water and literally suck in water.

The down side to that is that I have to be careful not to swallow bleach. The up side to it is that I get to bleach my tobacco stained teeth....hahaha!!!

Is they any other way?

not sure if this is the best method, what I could think of is to dip the whole thing in clean water and use a syringe (those used for ink cartridge) to suck the bleach out from the diffuser inlet. Keep doing it afew times to ensure it's fully 'flushed'

Use syringe with needle, you can even inject anti chlorine inside

You may want to try another less tedious method.

1. Turn the diffuser upside down, with the bleach on the ceramic side. (ensure ALL the bleach is on the ceramic disc side)
2. Attached the diffuser to the CO2 canister.
3. Turn on the canister and blast CO2 into the diffuser. This will flush out the bleach from the ceramic disc/diffuser. (To be done outside of the tank of course! Into a pail or sink preferably.)

Not sure if all the bleach are flushed out? Add more water into the diffuser again to rinse.
Repeat steap 1 to 3.
