Description
Product Overview & Aquatic Benefits
The JBL PROFLORA CO2 Professional Set is a sophisticated, automated carbon dioxide fertilization system designed to optimize water chemistry and support robust plant growth in freshwater aquariums. By precisely controlling both pH and CO2 levels, this unit ensures that aquatic plants receive the ideal nutrient balance necessary for thriving health.
This advanced system utilizes an automatic CO2/pH control mechanism. The integrated pH electrode continuously measures the water’s acidity (which is dependent on CO2 concentration), feeding this data to the central control unit. The unit then automatically regulates the supply of CO2 via a solenoid valve, maintaining the optimal chemical environment required for vigorous plant life.
The system is designed for freshwater aquariums ranging ideally from 40 to 600 liters in volume, making it suitable for both medium and large-scale aquatic setups. The inclusion of a bubble counter and specialized reactor ensures efficient gas dispersion throughout the aquarium water column.
Key Features & Deep-Dive
- Automatic CO2/pH Regulation: The core control unit measures pH via the electrode and automatically adjusts the solenoid valve to maintain ideal CO2 levels, ensuring plants receive consistent chemical support.
- Advanced Safety Mechanisms: The system incorporates a check valve that prevents water from flowing back into the CO2 cylinder, protecting the gas supply integrity.
- Pressure Monitoring: Integrated pressure gauges provide real-time readings of both the main CO2 cylinder pressure and the working pressure within the system, allowing for proactive maintenance and monitoring.
- Universal Compatibility (Cylinders): The included pressure reducer is designed to fit both disposable and refillable CO2 cylinders, offering flexibility for users.
- Robust Electrode System: The accompanying pH electrode is a robust quality sensor specifically designed for JBL CO2 Control units and other BNC-connected measuring devices. It includes necessary calibration liquids (pH 7.0 and 4.0) and storage solution to ensure accurate readings over time.
- Efficient Gas Dispersion: The package includes a TAIFUN SPIRAL CO2 reactor and an extension set, maximizing the surface area for gas exchange and ensuring optimal saturation of the water column.
