Co² Diffuser - Filling With Water ?

[zub-typer]

Hello again,

I installed my CO² diffuser yesterday connected to pipework, which is not yet connected as waiting on regulator.

The Diffusor seems to be filling with water... should this happen?

Should i disconnect the pipework, turn up-side down and fill it completly ?

Thanks in advance,

Z

Are you referring to the unit you actually put into the tankwater? In that case I'm pretty sure it should fill with water as this is the unit that brings the bubbles of Co2 into contact with, and therefore distributes into, the water.

Don't worry about it. What ever is in there will be pushed out by the CO2 gas anyway.
