Vertex Rx-6d calcium reactor problems

prdnblk · 03/18/2017, 02:10 PM

Having problem with chamber where water and co2 combines , is supposed to have a trickle effect going through chamber ,but chamber is full of water , my water source is a waterline connected to manifold that's plummed to my system

Is this a new Rx or a problem that cropped up?

What pressure/bubble count are you using? How much water are you pushing through the system?

This is a new reactor , the water pressure is very slow going in chamber when I slow the the pressure it still fills the chamber up

Also I'm using an aquarium carbon doser

Do you have to wait for the gas pressure to build up in that little chamber? I don't know much about calc reactors, but that's what makes sense to me anyway, have u let it bubble away for a little while?

Looking at it, hose on the right is gas in, hose on left is gas out into recirculating, if there's gas pressure going in, that shouldn't fill up with water, I could be wrong

If anyone who owns this Reactor is having problems with noise, I posted a video on how to solve it.
