What is the best way to clean clogged Atara static diffusers at the bottom of a pond?
Active
Are you sure they are clogged and that the source of the problem isn't a break in the air supply? Are the blocked Atara at the beginning or end of the line? Are any of the diffusers still operational on the same line but located after the ones that are blocked?
If they really are blocked, then in my opinion there is no option other than to drain the basin and clean out the diffusers.
There are two non-operational diffusers per line on three lines; the others work just fine. I have tried several things: water pressure, air supplied by a 185 cfm-compressor. It worked for some, but others are still clogged.
I don't see an easy fix for this. Maybe you can contact Atara directly and they can advise you how best to proceed.
