Anyone use a skimz calcium reactor ??? I need help.

[deerhunter06]

So I have a brand new cm152 with a electronic regulator. When I turn the bubbles all the way up as fast they can go it works the bubbles come as they should. when I turn the regulator to 1 second per bubble they come to almost a complete stop however if I disconnect the hosing from the reactor and put it in a cup of water the bubbles come 1 second per bubble as it should. So the regulator is working as intended. for some reason the calcium reactor is not. can anyone help?

Can you blow in the tubing through your CaRx to see if there is any blockage?
You said you have the electronic regulator, what is your pressure set on that comes from the regulator into the reactor?
You have a Co2 bottle pressure that if full will max close to 1000 PSI and a regulator pressure that will tell you what you release into your reactor when the valve opens up.
Show us a picture please.

I don't think there is any blockage because when I turn the regulator to bubble as fast as it can it does....15 psi per the skimz recommendation pics coming one sec

Should of got a geo

 

[Diesel]

Weird!
Can you dial your pressure to 6 and try again.
IMO 15 is super high.

 

[Diesel]

Yes that's what I run the GEO618

What about the check valve, did you install that the correct way as it is only a one way flow.

 

[deerhunter06]

Probably going to have to return it, it is definitely not working at intended.

Yes tried two different ones arrow point towards the reactor I have also tried two different tubing

 

[deerhunter06]

I'm new to this carx thing however it's almost like if I don't have full blast then the there is too much back pressure and it doesn't work correctly

 

[Diesel]

If you set it for one bubble each second it still won't bubble?

 

[deerhunter06]

It does but it's like once every minute or worse

 

[deerhunter06]

But if I disconnect it from the reactor and just put the tubing in a cup of water it does bubble every second like it should.

 

[deerhunter06]

So that leads me to believe the problem is in the reactor

 

[Diesel]

I'm pretty sure you have a blockage between your bubble counter and reactor.
Can you remove the black tubing that goes to the reactor and see if you get bubbles?

 

[Diesel]

Replace the black tubing with clear for the time being and see what it does.
Also check the connections where the tubing connect too.

 

[deerhunter06]

I did see something get sucked into the intake inside the reactor could that be it ?

 

[Diesel]

Check it out, as I almost can say positively that that must be it.
It's really a no brainer to me as far the Co2 through a reactor.
