Product Information
Full details
The JBL ProFlora CO2 Taifun Inline Membrane is an essential maintenance component for aquarium hobbyists using the Taifun Inline or ProFlora Direct diffuser systems, designed to ensure efficient CO2 dissolution for vibrant plant health. By producing ultra-fine, uniform bubbles, it maximizes CO2 uptake, though users must remember that the membrane requires a brief pre-soaking period before optimal diffusion efficiency is achieved.

FAQs
How often should I replace the membrane?
JBL recommends replacing the membrane once per year to ensure optimal diffusion and prevent clogs.
Do I need any tools for installation?
No special tools are required; the housing can typically be opened by hand.
Is this compatible with all hose sizes?
The membrane is compatible with JBL ProFlora Taifun Inline units designed for 12/16, 16/22, and 19/25 hose sizes.
Why is pre-watering important?
Pre-watering the membrane allows the ceramic pores to hydrate, which ensures uniform bubble distribution immediately upon startup.
Can I clean the membrane to extend its life?
While minor cleaning may work, the material is intended for annual replacement to guarantee consistent performance.
Troubleshooting
Large bubbles are escaping instead of fine mist.
Ensure the membrane is tightened securely in the housing and has been properly pre-watered.
Low CO2 flow despite high pressure.
Check the membrane for mineral deposits or biofilm buildup and replace it if it has exceeded the one-year service life.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install the membrane, first switch off your external canister filter to stop water flow. Unscrew the housing of your JBL Taifun Inline or ProFlora Direct diffuser unit. Carefully remove the old, potentially calcified membrane and insert the new unit. It is crucial to pre-water the new membrane by soaking it in fresh water for a few minutes before installation to ensure immediate uniform bubble output. Once placed, screw the housing back tightly to ensure a leak-proof seal. To maintain the membrane, ensure your CO2 levels are strictly regulated and replace the membrane annually to prevent biofilm or mineral buildup from clogging the pores.
