Description
Product Overview & Aquatic Benefits
The JBL Proflora CO2 Regulator Professional is an essential piece of equipment designed for advanced aquarium and aquatic plant fertilization systems. Its primary function is to precisely manage and regulate the flow of carbon dioxide, which is critical for maintaining optimal water chemistry and supporting robust plant growth in any freshwater setup.
By reducing high-pressure gas from a cylinder down to a stable working pressure, this regulator ensures that CO2 is delivered at a controlled rate. This precise dosing capability allows aquarists to tailor the carbon dioxide levels exactly to the needs of their specific aquatic flora and fauna, promoting vigorous growth and overall ecosystem health.
Key Features & Deep-Dive
- Dual Pressure Monitoring Gauges: Equipped with two gauges—one for the main cylinder pressure (approx. 60 bar) and a second for the working line pressure (1.2 bar). This dual monitoring system provides immediate, accurate feedback on both gas supply levels and operational readiness, ensuring safe and reliable use.
- Precision Pressure Reduction: The regulator safely reduces the high initial cylinder pressure of approximately 60 bar down to a low, stable working pressure of 1.2 bar. This controlled reduction is vital for maintaining consistent CO2 delivery regardless of the gas cylinder’s remaining charge.
- Advanced Construction Materials: Built with anodised aluminium and precisely CNC-milled in a durable titanium colour. This high-quality design ensures longevity, resistance to corrosion, and reliable performance in wet environments.
- Low-Noise Solenoid Valve: Features a specialized solenoid valve designed for minimal operational noise, making it suitable for quiet aquarium setups.
- Reliable Sealing Technology: Utilizes a dependable sealing washer instead of traditional O-rings, enhancing the overall reliability and leak prevention capabilities of the system.
