Tinyfellows Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 Will introducing a 1/2 inch online diffuser to my 3/8 inch hose on my canister filter with short pieces of half inch and 3/8 to 1/2 couplers kill the flow of my oase filtosmart 60?

Guppysnail Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 Sometimes rewording your question if no one has responded in a few days with more detail will help folks understand a bit more what you are asking so they are better able to answer your question.

Andy's Fish Den Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 I wouldnt think that it would hurt the flow too much since you are only jumping up an 1/8" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lefty o Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 it shouldnt kill flow, but likely will reduce it a small percent. the 3/8-1/2 adapters will have to be of diameter to fit inside the 3/8 line, so they will be smaller and will ultimately be the diameter that is the restrictive point in the system.

StevesFishTanks Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 The internal design of the CO2 diffuser may reduce the flow as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinyfellows Posted November 4, 2021 Author Share Posted November 4, 2021 There isn’t any noticeable decrease in flow rate after I installed the diffuser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevesFishTanks Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 Nice. Sometimes the best way to find the answer is a real world test. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
