I have just posted a new thread "Holiday Disaster: 200+ Litres on Floor" in Filters and Filtration.
I won't repeat anything from that thread to avoid dual posting, but the result is that the CO2 Art inline diffuser I've had for about three years sheared off and caused a major flood while on holiday.
I have been removing and cleaning the ceramic diffuser a couple of times a year when I notice the CO2 flow declining, a process which involves removing the entire diffuser unit, undoing a plastic nut with a spanner to get the ceramic diffuser out and replace with a clean one. It is clear that this process has gradually weakened the unit with the resulting aforementioned flood. The last time I did this was three weeks ago and there was no leak when I left the house on Wednesday (I actually ran my fingers around the diffuser joints for some reason).
There is no way I will consider putting another of these things in my system. Are there any better units out there, either inline or not, with easy to replace internal parts and/or diffuser units with metal components that won't break?
