Product information

Nutrition for aquarium plants
Plants provide the aquarium with vital oxygen for your aquarium inhabitants, prevent algae growth, remove pollutants, provide hiding places and reduce pathogens. The JBL plant fertiliser system supplies the plants with the main nutrient CO2 through the water. The plants absorb this and convert it into sugar and oxygen in photosynthesis with the help of light.

Easy to install
The system comes completely ready to connect. 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 reactor in the aquarium. CO2 thus enters the aquarium and is dissolved in the water with the help of the reactor. The CO2 supply can be interrupted at night by the interposed solenoid valve (night switch-off). The CO2/pH Permanent Test permanently indicates the amount of CO2 dissolved in the water and can then be readjusted if necessary.

Safe
Thanks to the check valve no water can enter the cylinder. The capacity of a CO2 system depends on various factors. The carbonate hardness, the quantity and species of the plants and the strength of the water surface movement are decisive. A 500 g cylinder which is not switched off by a solenoid valve during the night lasts for about 4 months in its default setting. The reusable cylinders can be refilled in specialist shops.

Conversion from disposable to reusable cylinders and vice versa:
All JBL CO2 pressurised gas cylinder systems are compatible with each other. With the reusable system (M system), the union nut of the pressure reducer can simply be unscrewed with an Allen key. The pressure reducer then fits the U system (disposable cylinders).

FAQ
Do you need a tool to assemble the pressure reducer?

No, a tool is not required and should not be used under any circumstances. The use of a tool can lead to damage. You can mount the pressure reducer on the CO2 cylinder with your hands. Turn only until you feel resistance and then turn about half a turn more. This way the pressure regulator fitting is hand-tight. A short hissing sound will be heard when attaching the fitting to disposable cylinders.

Is it normal that the working pressure fluctuates minimally and decreases towards the end of the cylinder filling?

Yes, this behaviour is normal. The CO2 is liquefied under pressure in the gas cylinder. At 20° C it is 57 bar. If the content decreases slowly and the temperature drops/rises, it may also have an effect on the working pressure. Check the cylinder pressure, as the cylinder is probably almost completely empty.

Is a tool needed to adjust the CO2 quantity?

No, a tool should never be used. The use of a tool can lead to damage. There is a thin spike at the tip of the needle valve. If the needle valve is closed clockwise and turned too tightly or with a tool, it may break off and damage the pressure regulator.

The working pressure on the pressure gauge does not change

When you adjust the working pressure, the CO2 addition needs to be running actively, otherwise the change will not be immediately visible in the event of a reduction. An increase is also visible without running CO2, but not immediately. That’s why you need to ensure that CO2 is added during the adjustment process for every reduction or increase.

Is 1.2 bar working pressure sufficient for my CO2 system?

For a long time JBL CO2 pressure reducers had a preset working pressure of 1.5 bar. This has become established in people's minds. With the new JBL PROFLORA CO2 pressure reducers with pressure gauges, the working pressure is set to 0 bar on delivery. You admit CO2 via the large adjustment knob for the working pressure and turn it until the desired working pressure is reached. Approx. 1.2 bar is the maximum setting here. A minimum of 0.6 bar is required for the operation of all JBL non-return valves or backflow protections. This ensures that the check valve opens. A higher working pressure is not necessary, which is why all the accessories also work with the JBL PROFLORA BIO SETs. A lot of CO2 accessories available on the market give very different specifications for the working pressure. To be on the safe side, the standard of 1.5 bar which is common on the market is mentioned. As a rule, the working pressure required is the same as that on which the JBL PROFLORA CO2 accessories are based. Only a few exceptions require a working pressure of over 2 bar and are very special technical components.

Ich habe die Anlage nun seit mehr als einem Jahr täglich in der Anwendung und muss sagen das ich absolut zufrieden bin. Ich musste mein Flasche einmal füllen also ca. alle 6 Monate bei meinem 200L Becken. Das finde ich wirklich in Ordnung .. Das Nadelventil ist wirklich gut einzustellen und kommt wirklich hochwertig daher. Würde immer wieder Druckminderer von JBl nehmen einfach der Qualität wegen.

Ich schließe mich den anderen positiven Rezensionen an. Es ist sehr schade, dass der Standfuß für die CO2-Flasche nicht mit geliefert wird und bei Bedarf über 5 € nachgekauft werden muss im Gegensatz zum Vormodell m502. Da frage ich mich warum die Anlage 54 € teurer sein muss.

Die Anlage, besonders der Druckregler, macht einen wertigen Eindruck. Die Anlage ist ruck-zuck aufgebaut und funktionsfähig.

Ich habe aber ein paar kleine Kritikpunkte:

1. Ich fände es sehr praktisch, wenn auch ein Standfuß für die CO2 Flasche im Lieferumfang enthalten wäre bzw. wenn es eine Auswahlmöglichkeit zwischen Hängehalterung und Standhalterung gäbe. Dies ist zwar Geschmackssache, aber ich möchte die Flasche auch hinstellen können und nicht bohren müssen. Das mit dem Hängen ist zwar eine nette Idee, aber für mich zB. ungeeignet. Den Standfuß kann man jedenfalls nachkaufen, das ist schonmal sehr gut.

2. Ich kann mich mit dem Spiraldiffusor leider gar nicht nicht anfreunden. Er ist sehr klobig, nimmt viel Platz im Aquarium weg und sieht, für mich, nicht ästhetisch aus. Ein einfacher, kleiner Diffusor wäre hier für mich die absolut bessere Wahl. Ich bin mir auch nicht sicher, ob das Wasser durch diese einzelnen, relativ großen Luftblasen die direkt auf die Oberfläche schwimmen und dort gleich zerplatzen, optimal angereichert wird; im Vergleich zu den Membrandiffusoren. Vor allem im Bereich Aquascaping möchte man jedenfalls auch so wenig Technik wie möglich im Aquarium haben und da ist dieser Spiraldiffusor für mich, rein von der Optik her, ein No-Go - ebenso wie die schwarzen Schläuche.

3. Der Blasenzähler wäre idealerweise am Druckregler angebracht. So hängt er eher unschön irgendwo an der Aquarienscheibe.

Alles in allem hat man sich hier wohl viele Gedanken gemacht, ich befürchte fast, zu viele. Vielleicht hätte man bei dem ein oder anderen System auf das Bewährte setzen sollen - Never change a winning Team. ;-)

Das Highlight für mich ist jedenfalls der Druckregler mit Nachtabschaltung. Das Teil ist wirklich super wertig und der Preis für den Druckregler alleine ist angemessen. Da ich keinen Blasenzähler benötige, ist es für mich auch kein Nachteil, wenn ich den mitgelieferten nicht verwende.

Klare Kaufempfehlung für den Druckregler.

Anlage läuft nun seit knapp 3 Wochen und die Pflanzen wachsen sehr gut.

Auch der Aufbau der Anlage ist sehr schnell und einfach zu erledigen.

Nachabschaltung und Minderer sind von hoher Qualität und arbeiten sehr genau und zuverlässig.

Wenn man gerade keine Mehrwegflaschen nutzen möchte lassen sich auch Einwegflaschen an die Anlage anschließen super umgesetzt von JBL.

Gewohnte Perfektion von JBL. Sehr leicht zu installieren. Sehr hochwertig verarbeitet

und vor allem sehr zuverlässig. Der Druckminderer ist prima zu montieren und abzulesen.

Absolute Kaufempfehlung.
