Description
Product Overview & Aquatic Benefits
The JBL Proflora CO2 Regulator Advanced is an essential piece of equipment for maintaining optimal water chemistry in advanced aquarium and aquatic setups. Its primary function is to precisely manage and reduce high-pressure CO2 gas from a pressurized cylinder, ensuring a stable and easily regulated supply directly into your habitat.
By reducing the initial cylinder pressure (approximately 60 bar) down to a low working pressure of 1.2 bar, this regulator allows aquarists to fine-tune the amount of CO2 delivered. Stable CO2 dosing is critical for plants and certain aquatic species, as it helps maintain optimal pH levels and enhances photosynthesis, which supports robust biological activity within your tank.
Key Features & Deep-Dive
- Precision Pressure Reduction: The regulator safely reduces the cylinder pressure from approximately 60 bar (monitored on Gauge 1) down to a stable working pressure of 1.2 bar (monitored on Gauge 2). This controlled drop ensures consistent gas delivery, preventing sudden fluctuations that could stress aquatic life or plants.
- Fine Needle Valve Control: The inclusion of a fine needle valve allows for highly accurate regulation of the CO2 flow rate. This precision is vital for maintaining ideal water chemistry and supporting specific plant growth requirements.
- Universal Compatibility Design: Designed to fit both disposable CO2 cylinders (U system) and refillable cylinders (M system), maximizing its utility across various aquarium setups without requiring multiple units.
- Premium Construction Materials: Built with anodised aluminium, the regulator is precisely CNC milled in a durable titanium colour finish. This high-quality design ensures longevity and reliable performance under constant pressure changes.
- Reliable Sealing Mechanism: Utilizing a reliable sealing washer instead of traditional O-rings enhances durability and guarantees a superior, leak-proof seal over time.
