problem: the pump is not operating correctly
Caution:
Always isolate the pump from mains electricity before installing or carrying out any
maintenance to the pump.
1.
Possible Cause: The pump (14) is not plugged in.
Solution: Ensure pump is connected to power supply and is switched on.
2.
Possible Cause: The pump (14) is blocked with dirt and debris.
Solution: Clean the pump to remove dirt and debris (see “Maintenance” section above).
3.
Possible Cause: The pump impeller (16) is damaged.
Solution: Check for damage and replace if necessary.
4.
Possible Cause: The water supply intake strainer (6) is clogged or blocked.
Solution: Check for blockage and clean as required.
5.
Possible Cause: The calcium reactor has not been successfully or correctly primed.
Solution: See “Priming the Calcium Reactor” section above.
6.
Possible Cause: The water level in aquarium is too low and the water supply intake strainer (6)
is not fully submerged.
Solution: Check and correct the aquarium water level accordingly.
problem: the pH level in the aquarium is low
1. Solution: Carefully and gradually reduce the CO
2
input.
2. Solution: Carefully and gradually adjust the water outlet flow control valve (9) to achieve a
slower flow rate, such as approximately 90 drops per minute (1.5 drops per second).
3. Solution: Increase the aquarium circulation flow.
4. Solution: Increase ventilation around your aquarium.
problem: the pH level in the aquarium is high
1. Solution: Carefully and gradually increase the CO
2
input.
2. Solution: Carefully and gradually reduce the water flow exiting the V
2
React.
please note:
the pH levels in your aquarium will be different at various times during the day
and this means that the pH measurement you obtain will also vary depending on the time of
day that the test is carried out. Excess CO
2
can affect pH level but will not affect alkalinity
level.
problem: the calcium level in the aquarium is low
1. Solution: Carefully and gradually increase the CO
2
input.
2. Solution: Add a calcium supplement to raise the calcium to the desired level and continue to
use the calcium reactor to stabilise and maintain the correct level.
problem: the calcium level in the aquarium is high
1. Solution: Carefully and gradually reduce the CO
2
input or stop the CO
2
input until the desired
calcium level is achieved.
2. Solution: Carefully and gradually reduce the water flow exiting the V
2
React
USEFUL TIP:
After carrying out any changes to CO
2
dose rates or water outlet flow rates, allow
at least 24 hours before re-testing water parameters.
please note:
as no two aquariums are the same, and water parameters within the aquarium
continuously change, it may take time and patience to achieve the desired result and the
installation and operation of this calcium reactor should be carried out in conjunction with
regular testing of both the water exiting the V
2
React and your aquarium water.
