Product Information
CO2 Bubble Counter, Aqua Medic.
The Bubble Counter is a simple and safe unit for monitoring the dosage of CO2 gas into aquarium, fish tanks, and filter components. Designed to be installed in the low pressure section of your gas delivery system, the Bubble Counter visually displays the flow rate of CO2 gas as it is being delivered.
This allows fine adjustments to be made and easily verified.
An integrated non-return valve prevents water back flow and the holding plate lets you install the Bubble Counter in an easily viewable area.
The Bubble Counter is an invaluable tool whether you are feeding a CO2 Reactor for live plants or regulating the pH inside a Calcium Reactor, the visual display of flow rate helps ensure you are getting the most from your CO2 system.
Bubble counter with integrated non return valve and a strong mounting plate. The bubble counter has to be mounted in a way, that he is always without pressure. The needle valve has to be mounted between the CO2 bottle and the bubble counter.
Contents
1. CO2 inlet, from the CO2 pressure bottle
2. CO2 exit port to the aquarium/CO2 reactor
3. transparent counter tube
4. plug with connections
5. non return valve, with silicon "umbrella"
6. connection fitting, 1/6"
7. bubble inlet tube
8. holding clamp
9. holding plate
10. rubber sucker
Connections:
- inlet: flexible tube, 6/4 mm diameter (1/4 - 1/8 inch). It is connected to the fitting with the transparent acrylic pipe , going to the bottom of the counter and the non return valve
The mounting plate of the counter is fixed to the wall or the aquarium stand, near the CO2 bottle. It can either be mounted with the rubber suckers on a glass plate (aquarium) or directly with screws on the wall. The bubble counter is then opened carefully, filled for 1/3 with water, closed again and carefully pressed into the holder. Take care to keep the O ring of the plug and the top part of the transparent counter tube dry. If these parts are wet, the counter will not be CO2 tight.
If both tubes are connected to the CO2 reactor (or the filter) and the pressure, the needle valve of the reactor can be opened. Now bubbles can be seen and counted at the bottom of the thin acrylic tube. The quantity of the bubbles can be adjusted at the needle valve.
Maintenance
If the water in the bubble counter is evaporated, it has to be renewed.
