CO2 Reactor

Share |

CO2 Reactor is a very simple, efficient and economical reactor used to inject carbon dioxide under pressure into water. The general principal is to get the CO2 to have as long a contact as possible with the water to give it time to dissolve.

CO2 Reactor mainly consisits of:

CO2 production vessel
CO2 hose
Non return valve
Bubble chamber
Unique pump

Working of the CO2 Reactor

CO2 enters the reactor through a hole drilled into the tube.
The CO2 is then forced downards by the pump.
The foam stops any bubbles from entering the water but water can pass through.
This forces the bubbles to be churned around in a little 'chamber'.
This added agitation and time in contact with the water, more efficiently diffuses the CO2.

Tips for using a CO2 Reactor

In order to maximize the benefit of injecting CO2 it is important to reduce any surface turbulence as this will quickly allow dissolved CO2 to escape into the air.
For efficient functioning turn of any aerators.
Lower any spray bars below the water line.
Direct the current to run around the sides of the reactors.
An increased CO2 concentration will not displace dissolved oxygen from the water.
Do not unplug the co2 system at night.
