CO2 bubble will make my powerfilter kapoot?

by putting CO2 outlet beneath powerfilter(suction) and propell it out, will the air bubble make my powerfilter propeller kapoot in long run?

It might because Co2 can be corrosive.

CO2 disolves and will form carbonic acid. over time it could cause some corrosion but it is a relatively weak acid. i wouldn't be too worried...

Im not worried. If I have to replace the rubber I will.

I've got about 8 years on a couple of different filters pushing gas with no deterioration at all.
