Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation is straightforward due to the modular design. To set up, fill the unit with water, secure your CO2 hose using the screw fasteners, and choose your preferred mounting method.
Compatibility: The device is designed to work with most standard 4/6 mm CO2-resistant tubing found in typical aquarium systems.
Maintenance: To ensure the bubble counter remains accurate, it is recommended to check the water level within the chamber periodically. If the water evaporates or becomes cloudy due to biofilm buildup, simply twist the bayonet catch to open the unit. Rinse the internal components and the O-ring under warm tap water, ensuring the seal is seated correctly before closing it back up. Never use harsh chemical cleaners, as these can leave residues harmful to your aquatic inhabitants.
