reactor M
230 V / 50 Hz / 7 W
CO

input tube connection:
6/4 mm, (1/4“)
Water connection:
10 mm
Water flow:
max. 380 l/h (95 gal/h)
Holding system:
Rubber sucker
The unit is designed for aquaria up to 500 l (120 gal) and 10 dKH (4 mmol alcalinity).
2.
Reactor tube assembly
1.
Put the rubber sucker into the recess of the retaining plate.
2.
Check the connection between pump and reactor.
3.
Attach the CO
2
hose line provided at the CO
2
.
4.
Check the connection of the filter housing.
5. Place
reactor M
completely under water. To do so, fasten the retaining plate with the rubber
suckers to an aquarium pane.
Note:
The
reactor
has to be filled with water completely.
6.
Turn on the circulation pump.
Warning:
Close the CO
2
hose to prevent water leakage.
3.
Adjustment
Before using the
reactor
, the rest of the CO
2
system has to be assembled: The pressure regulator
regular
has to be mounted on the pressure bottle
station
. As soon as the regulator, the bubble
counter and the reactor have been mounted, the reactor can be adjusted.
1.
Turn on the circulation pump to start water flow.
2.
Open the valve of the CO
2
pressure bottle.
3.
Adjust the working pressure to 1 - 2 bar at the pressure regulator. The working pressure of the
regular
is set to 1.5 bar.
4.
Open the needle valve of the regular slowly. In doing so, check the flow of CO
2
bubbles at the
bubble counter.
5.
The initial flow should be approx. 30 bubbles/minute. Check the ph value in the aquarium!
6.
The CO
2
will flow into the
reactor
and dissolve in water flow.
