Diffusion Stones can be attached to compressed oxygen tanks, CO2 tanks or air pumps. It is composed of stainless steel and has a 2 micron stone with a 1/4in OD barbed fitting. Diffusion stones require a high pressure which is easily achieve with compressed gas or high-powered air pumps. However, low-powered air pumps may not work well.

Boiling the stone for at least 5 minutes in clean water is the only reliable way to clean and sanitize it completely. It is important that the air being fed into the stone is clean to prevent contaminants from clogging the stone or infecting the wort. Ensure a clean air source or install an air filter.
