Saga super diffuser

Who is using this diffuser?

Currently im using the 3 in 1 ista diffuser and I'm getting alot of co2 thats not diffusing.

So i ordered the saga super diffuser, will be receiving it hopefully by the end of this week.

How is this diffuser compared to the ista 3 in 1 ?

I know the saga one requires a lot of pressure to work. Im running a diy pressurized co2 system , 2kg fire extinguisher fitted with paintball on/off valve and single stage oxygen regulator, working pressure can be adjusted to 6 bar so i think it will be able to work on my system.

Any advice will be appreciated.

Thanx.

Mine clocked up after numerous attempts as suggested by fellow members to get it going . Soaking in water for 48 hours . Etc it is in my cupboard being a reminder of money down the drain . It seems others are happy thou

 

Ps used it for 12 hours

 

Thanx Lysine , my 3 in 1 ista diffuser is working fine , i just feel im wasting alot of co2 since most of it accumulate on the water surface.

Thats why i ordered the saga one , hopefully its diffusion is better and i get to save some co2.

Ill dip it in peroxide before i install it in my tank.

I have the super diffuser, and am happy with it.
To me it works better than the 3-in-1 that I had previously.

What nobody tells you, is that you need to soak the diffuser for 2 to 3 days before using it, in order for the ceramic to be come saturated.
After that, it works well.

 

Cool , thanx a million Pezulu

How long have you been using it? I have read online that the seals dont last long , but that a different brand diffuser.

Cant seem to find any review of the saga one.

I have been using mine about a year now, with no issues.
Even the suction cups stick like mad, and are a bugger to get loose.

 

Nice...how big is your tank? Will be upgrading to a 4ft in the next month or 2. Will this diffuser work on a 4ft?

I have mine running in a 4ft tank.

 

Great...thanx for all the info Pezulu. Just 1 last question what is your working pressure set to?

I have no idea what the pressure is.
The bottle is a 2kg Aquarium Depot CO2 cylinder.
The regulator is a standard single gauge SAGA regulator with solenoid.

I adjust the needle valve to dispense about 20 bubbles every 10 seconds, or 2 bps.

 

@Pezulu The diffuser got delivered today so i thought ill do a test run with it.

No fine mist all i get is big bubbles

Is that why you said it must be soaked for 3 days so that it can work properly?

Seems its working pressure is a lot less than the ista 3 in 1.
