As soon as the Calciumreactor is placed in the correct position and all connections are ready, the water flow
can be started. The inlet is marked by "IN" (10), the outlet by "OUT" (12). Connection No. 11 is provided for
CO . When the Calciumreactor is filled with water, CO can be switched on. The quantity of CO and the flow
2 2 2
have to be adjusted the way that the pH value in the aquarium does not drop below pH 7.8. Within the reactor
itself, the pH value should be at pH 5.9 – 6.5. The lower the pH value in the reactor, the greater the release
rate. However, the pH value is lowered more strongly in the aquarium, dependent on the flow. It is possible to
control and adjust the pH-value in the reactor by using e. g. the Aqua Medic pH controller or Aqua Medic pH
computer. On the top of the reactor, there is a port (24) to put in a pH-electrode. The used ph-probe has to
be pressure-resistant and it has to have a thread PG 13,5.
Before you open the Calciumreactor after filling, you have to let off the water from the lid. This is done most
simply by hanging the hose of the inlet (IN) in a lower placed bucket or into the drain. Since the inlet is extended
inside, the reactor runs dry automatically up to this point.
Please don't pull on the cable to open the lid but reach under the lid's edge.
The back flow of the calciumbicarbonate enriched water either into the aquarium or the filter tank should be
directed to a well-flushed place in order to mix it immediately with the aquarium water. This avoids instabilities
of the pH-value. The drip counter (14), included in delivery, is used for a safe mounting of the hose as well as
for controlling the flow.
6. Maintenance
The Aqua Medic Hydrocarbonate (coarse grain) is consumed by the chemical reaction and has to be refilled
from time to time. Furthermore, it should be replaced completely regularly since the grain size decreases and
thus flow and circulation drop. Also the flow rate should be checked regularly.
The pump should be cleaned occasionally. To do so, the cap of the pump housing (8) has to be taken
off. One hand holds the pump inlet and the other one the pump outlet, then the cap has to be drawn
to the top. Take care not to tilt since otherwise, the ceramic axle might break.
