COR 160 CO2 reactor up to 100 m3

The AquaCare CO₂ Reactor consists of PVC and can be fastened with two wall clips. The pressure side of an external filter or a pump leads to the upper connection of the reactor - the lower connection leads back again into the aquarium. With very strong pumps the reactor should be operated in the bypass. The CO₂ bubbles from the bottom into the reactor - an extra bubble counter is not necessary, if the equipment is well visibly attached.

The higher the number of CO₂ bubbles, the more the water is acidified. The ideal pH value is in a plant aquarium (amazon type) between 6,5 and 7,0. The dosage of the carbon dioxide can be done automatically with a pH value controller and an attached solenoid valve. Like that an overdosing is impossible. Alternatively the night shut off equipment can be used, which is operated with the help of a timer and a solenoid valve.

However a check valve made for CO₂ must be used to prevent the CO₂ tank for damages.

Tip! If you use an CO₂ Reactor the pH value should be measured and controlled. Otherwise a pH value drop may occur.

Advantages of the AquaCare COR:

• high hydraulic load
• easy technique
• nearly maintenance-free
• is not visible in the aquarium, but is mounted in the filter circuit
• and of course

Required accessories:

• water inlet with enough pressure (bypass from aquarium main pump or extra pump)
• CO₂ pressure tank with pressure relief valve, fine regulating valve and check valve
• for maximum safety: pH controler
