Bubble counter seal

This is what happens CO2 attacks and dissolves in rubber, as you can clearly see. Rubber is not ideal for CO2 sealing, but under low pressure sometimes survives...or not. You could try Viton or nitrile o rings as longer lasting alternatives.

This is why you shouldn't put your CO2 diffuser on the inlet of your filter as the CO2 can attack the internal rubber seals.

In this case, I was the one responsible for the damage... 😳
