Co2 regulator with inbuild bubble counter glass cracked

[Orky108]

Hi, i got a atomizer connected to the outlet of my external filter for my co2. Recently found my bubble counter had hairline crack and cant seem to pump co2 through the atomizer.

The atomizer had been used for a few months now. And never it have been clean once.

1)Do i need to clean or wash the atomizer?
2)how to clean?
3)does not cleaning it causes my bubble counter to unable to pump through the atomizer and cause the crack?

Yes, the atomizer systems use a ceramic tube which tends to clog up with minerals and dirt over time, which will eventually block the Co2 gas movement. That effect can sometimes result in pressure build-up in the other parts of the system and cause damage to the weaker parts.

You will need to remove the ceramic tube and soak it in a hydrogen peroxide solution to clear out the clogs.
