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

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.

I'm not even sure how to do this with out getting water every where I guess that's how we learn. Thank you for your help I'll see if I can find it.

Water is still flowing all the way through so I didnt really think that was it. Of course I'm really new to these.

Your circulation pump is different than your feed of Co2 in the reactor.
You can always bypass your bubble counter as you have a counter on your regulator in a red blinking light, right?

Yea

Try to bypass and see if that works.

Should water be flowing through all the tubing when everything is on? Except the tubing going to the co2 tank of course

Your Co2 lines shouldn't have any water in them only the effluence tubing but that should be a constant drip of about 8oml per min

Lets get some more eyes on this my friend.

check if there is anything blocking the recirculating pump

should there be water in that top tube? where you see it bouncing back and forth?

 

[Diesel]

That's so weird.
The Co2 doesn't make it into the bubble counter.

Nope no water.

 

[deerhunter06]

But watch.....

 

[Diesel]

What about removing the check valve for a moment?

I see the water and that's not right.

 

[Diesel]

There's some how a blockage that prevents it from flowing through on slow pressure.

That clear piece of tubing is that touching the bottom of your bubble counter or do you have a clear space of 0.5 inch between it?

Not sure which one you mean. The one inside the bubble counter ?
