ANS Glass Diffuser

[Wingless]

Hi guys, i have this glass diffuser which i bought from seaview. I connected it wit a presurrized co2 cylinder and timer (off at night). At the next morning i found out that the glass diffuser is filled with water (from diffuser up to the first one way valve), after my timer activate the co2 the co2 pushes the water out.. May i know is this normal?

thanks,

Yes it is normal. The pressure of the co2 gas will force the gas to be dissolved into the water. With lesser pressure as the co2 escapes from it's gasous form to be dissolved into the tank water, the water is able go into the co2 tube. That's is the purpose of a good check valve to spot the water from flowing backwards in to the solenoid

Haha i see i see, it got me worried for nothing haha.. I got another Easy-Aqua Atomizer but it required too much pressure for it to work, that's why i change back to the glass diffuser. Btw See you tmr bro
