Installation - Aquavitro element Ca Bedienungsanleitung

Installation

Though the element™ Ca Reactor can be positioned externally, to avoid unforeseen issues and to
aid in long term use, the unit should be placed in an aquarium system's sump.
1. Place the element™ Ca Reactor inside
of the aquarium system's sump in an
accessible and convenient position for
regular maintenance and cleaning.
2. While the element™ Ca Reactor is not
affected by changes in water level, it
is necessary to maintain a level of at
least the ~MIN~ waterline mark on the
Reactor Column (E).
3. Extend the Tubing (T1) to a point
where the effluent will mix as
aggressively as possible with water in
the sump before being returned to the
aquarium.
Installation of pH Probe (optional)
Use of a CO controlling system is highly advisable to eliminate risk of overdose of CO

element™ Ca Reactor and the aquarium. A CO
that delivers information on pH within the reactor to a control unit which then turns a solenoid
valve on or off as necessary to the supply of CO

4. The effluent will be heavy in minerals that
can deposit onto moving parts of pumps
so it is best that the effluent be diluted
with aquarium water quickly.
5. The best option is to have the effluent
feed into a protein skimmer such as the
aquavitro division™ series as this will drive
out any remaining CO
6. Recall that it is convenient to be able to
see the amount of water flowing from the
reactor to judge adjustments. Consider
this when directing the effluent Tubing
(T1).
7. Connect the other end of Tubing (T3)
to the CO dispensing solenoid or tank
