Hallo,
After being off overnight, my CO2 line between diffuser and check valve fills with water. Am I correct to assume there is a minimum pressure to force CO2 through the diffuser? Because if so, this line should maintain that level and prevent backflow (as long as its higher than the water pressure of ~0.02 bar )
So basically I think I have a very slow leak somewhere, but can't find anything, and want to be sure before I buy a replacement diffuser (oldest, grubbiest component). Would be good to get some others' experience thrown in!
I'll probably go for an inline, so not a huge loss if it turns out I didn't need it...
Cheers
edit: basically, how long does it take for your diffuser to start bubbling after you turn on the CO2?
