GLA atomic inline diffuser setup

[bmthepainter]

Hello. I am setting up my new GLA Atomic inline Diffuser and I have a few questions.
It says that you need 30 PSI for it to function properly. An I supposed to set up the regulator at 30 PSI then use the needle valves to slow down the bubble count because at 20 PSI the bubbles are super fast. Also I heard that you should not try to use the needle valve for such a big difference that the back pressure could cause problems as well
thanks in advance for any help

I just emailed GLA (Green leaves aquarium) and their reply was

Hi Brian,

Normally 30psi works just fine. Sometimes you need to bump it up to 40psi. As long as you have a proper adjustable pressure regulator you will be good to go. You then use the needle valve to adjust the bubble rate to the diffuser.


Best Regards,
Marco
