T&T: Algae in Racor 900's

[ron barr]

SNIP:I use a 1 liter laboratory wash bottle filled with diesel to 
hose the entire housing down and clean all that stuff out. If you haven't 
used one of these, it's a polyethylene bottle with a very fine nozzle at the

top."

Yes this makes sense to me rather than disassembling the entire thing.
However why couldn't I just use compressed air say at about 80 psi or so?
Any thoughts?

Feedback from several listees on this much appreciated.
