Ne0eN December 18, 2006 December 18, 2006 Is there a way to keep the water inside a Ca reactor at a constant level? The two Ca reactors that I have experience with always seem to gradually 'lose' water (over a period of 1-2 weeks). I'm fairly sure that the reactor is not leaking, but since there is the injection of CO2, could it be that the bubble counter is set to high? Thanks, -- Rob
flowerseller December 18, 2006 December 18, 2006 Where have you been? We missed you guys. Is your CA reactor a top down flow model?
dhoch December 18, 2006 December 18, 2006 The reactors I have used have outtake from the top so air (CO2) if trapped will bleed out through the outlet... Is yours not built that way? Dave
Ne0eN December 18, 2006 Author December 18, 2006 Hey Chip... I've been busy with life and work I guess. But I'm still around Dave, my reactor has the output on the bottom - at the point of CO2 injection. -- Rob
mutley29 December 18, 2006 December 18, 2006 (edited) Ditto what Dave said only thing i can think of would be your Reactor supply pump isn't supplying enough or the pipe is blocked and some of the water siphons out the effluent pipe maybe????? got any pics of the setup Anton Edited December 18, 2006 by mutley29
Ne0eN December 18, 2006 Author December 18, 2006 Also... the input water from the tank (at the top of the reactor) has a valve - which I'm keeping open. The output does not have a valve.
dhoch December 18, 2006 December 18, 2006 Dave, my reactor has the output on the bottom - at the point of CO2 injection. -- Rob Are you sure you have the output and the input correct? Output at the bottom seems like that's asking for a siphoning problem. Also that's why you are getting air trapped (if air is coming in via CO2 or via your draw line)... What's the make? Dave
dbartco December 18, 2006 December 18, 2006 Do you have the input and output swapped? dave beat me...
Ne0eN December 18, 2006 Author December 18, 2006 The reactor is CR422 by Precision Marine. http://www.marinedepot.com/md_viewItem.asp?idproduct=PM3111 -- Rob
dhoch December 18, 2006 December 18, 2006 Your hooked up backwards... looking at their documentation: http://www.precisionmarine.com/assets/appl...ium_Reactor.pdf The output is on the top and the feed is on the bottom Dave
