Screw the pressure reducer onto the CO2 storage cylinder and connect it by hose to the bubble counter (incl. backflow protection) and then to the diffuser in the aquarium. CO2 thus enters the aquarium and is dissolved in the water with the help of the diffuser. The CO2 supply can be interrupted at night by the interposed solenoid valve (night switch-off not included). The CO2\/pH Permanent Test permanently indicates the amount of CO2 dissolved in the water and can then be readjusted if necessary.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSafe\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThanks to the check valve no water can enter the cylinder.
