It means they have really tiny holes to produce really tiny bubbles and as a result you have to blow really hard to make them work. I believe they're spec'd at 30psi rather than the "normal" 10-15psi most folks run.

Hi Jim,

If the "norm" is to run 10-15psi will it be OK to run 30psi ? In other words, can one run into problems running 30psi long term ?

Ask Orlando at GLA. He is very customer service friendly. Responds to e-mails very quickly.

Hi,

I just did and he said I should not have any problems. And yes, he's very helpful.
I like to ask Co2 Qs here b/c I know some folks here are very knowledgeable on the subject.

I assume it requires the same pressure as the inline atomizers. I'll be getting one of these for my nano tank and place it under the HOB filter. I think the effect will be much better than using a normal glass diffuser.

@GillesF: PSI is something different then "bar" we use here in europe. 30 psi equals arround 2 bar. I have my atomizer now working at ~36 PSI, since at 30PSI it did not produce the bubbles i wanted.
