Ceramic diffusion discs are known for producing an especially fine CO2 mist compared to some other atomizer designs, improving how much gas actually dissolves before reaching the surface. The Dymax CO2 Atomizer CA-112 uses a ceramic disc to deliver that finer diffusion in a compact inline unit.
Why Ceramic Discs Diffuse Better
A ceramic diffusion disc's microporous structure produces smaller, more numerous bubbles than a standard fritted glass or plastic diffuser, which translates directly into more dissolved CO2 reaching your plants instead of escaping as visible bubbles at the surface.
What the CA-112 Offers
- Ceramic diffusion disc for finer bubble output than standard glass or plastic atomizers.
- Compact inline design that fits easily into standard CO2 tubing setups.
- Durable, transparent housing that lets you visually monitor bubble output and disc condition.
How to Use It
- Position low in the tank under flow for maximum contact time before bubbles reach the surface.
- Clean the ceramic disc periodically — it can clog with algae or mineral deposits and lose fine-diffusion performance over time.
- Pair with a bubble counter to monitor and adjust your CO2 injection rate accurately.
