The pressure in CO
2
bottles is much too high
to be handled safely without a proper
pressure regulation. Solenoid valves, used for
aquariums, are safe for a pressure up to a
maximum of 10 bars. Standard tubing may
be used up to 1 bar, special CO
2
tubes up to
6 bars. The pressure in a CO
2
bottle varies,
depending
on
the
room
temperature,
between 60 and 70 bar. In order to reduce
this pressure down to the optimum working
pressure of the Aqua Medic CO
2
system, a
pressure regulator is needed. The CO
2
pressure regulator regular is best suited for
this purpose. It is a rugged instrument,
engineered to withstand regular use while
providing sufficient delicate regulation. The
pressure regulator regular is a complete top
class instrument. The whole unit is chrome-
plated to improve the corrosion- resistance.
The unit is fitted with 2 chrome-plated
pressure gauges. The primary pressure gauge
shows the CO
2
pressure inside of the bottle.
This pressure is 60 - 70 bar as long as there is
liquid CO
2
left in the bottle. The second
pressure gauge shows the fixly adjusted
working pressure of 1.5 bar (between 1 and 2
bar).
