Connections
- Inlet: flexible tube, 6/4 mm diameter. It is connected to the fitting with the transparent acrylic
tube (bubble inlet tube, 7) and the non-return valve.
- Outlet: flexible tube, 6/4 mm diameter. It is connected to the other fitting (2).
Installation
The mounting plate of the counter is fixed to the wall or aquarium stand, near the CO
2
bottle. It
can either be mounted with the rubber suckers on a glass plate (aquarium) or directly with screws
on the wall. The bubble counter is opened carefully, then filled 1/3 with water, closed again and
carefully pressed into the holder.
Take care to keep the O-ring of the plug and the top part of
the transparent counter tube dry. If these parts get wet, the counter will not be CO
2
tight.
If both tubes are connected to the CO
2
reactor
(or filter) and the CO
2
bottle, the needle valve of
the
reactor
can be opened. Now, bubbles can be seen and counted at the bottom of the thin
acrylic tube. The quantity of bubbles can be adjusted at the needle valve.
Maintenance
If the water in the bubble counter is evaporated, it has to be refilled.
11. Accessories
As an accessory, to automize the CO
2
-supply, the Aqua Medic
solenoid valve
can be connected
between pressure regulator (regular) and bubble counter as a night shut off. The CO
2
-supply is
then only switched on during daytime (together with the light) when the plants use CO
2
. The
optimum method is to control the solenoid valve by a
pH computer
. The CO
2
-supply is
automatically balanced with the needs then, the pH value is kept constant.
