Co2 hagen diffuser

[melissa1977]

I don't know if I did a boo boo with my new co2 diffuser...

I used tap water in the container. Im wondering if I should have used
dechlorinated water instead.

Oh, in the grey canister? Technically dechlorinated water would be better, but it really depends on the levels of chlorine/amine in your tap water. Chloramine could stunt the yeasts growth rate at higher levels. Around here, I don't bother treating my tap water, so I really doubt you'll see a problem.

However, on that hagen kit, I think you'll find the grey canister doesn't last long enough, or produce enough CO2 for a 20gallon. On my 20, I use a 1 gallon juice jug, filled with 1.5cups of sugar, and a 1/4 teaspoon of yeast.
There's no need to buy the refill kits for their system...just buy some bread yeast and save yourself the cash.
