Easy to install
Screw the fitting onto the refillable or disposable CO2 cylinder. Use a hose to connect the hose connection from the permanently connected solenoid valve to a bubble counter/check valve and then to the diffuser/reactor in the aquarium. Adjust the number of CO2 bubbles on the fine needle valve. The CO2 permanent test provides feedback as to whether the amount of CO2 added is correct.

Night switch-off/CO2 control:
The solenoid valve can either be switched on and off by a timer (not included) so that it switches on the light and the CO2 in the morning (and switches off again in the evening) or the solenoid valve is switched on and off by a CO2 control unit (JBL PROFLORA CO2 CONTROL) to regulate the CO2 supply and thus the pH value automatically.

Tip: Can be easily converted to a disposable cylinder system by unscrewing the knurled union nut with an Allen key.

Function of the pressure reducer (= pressure regulator): To reduce the pressure from the pressurised gas cylinder, a pressure reducer is screwed on. It reduces the 50-60 bar cylinder pressure to a working pressure of approx. 1.2 bar. These 1.2 bar are then dosed by a small handwheel (fine needle valve) so precisely that individual CO2 bubbles can be seen and counted in the bubble counter connected. The cylinder pressure and the working pressure are indicated on pressure gauges on this pressure reducer. These displays are not strictly necessary, as - unlike with diving cylinders with compressed air - the cylinder pressure does not slowly drop, and you do not need to be warned when the cylinder is running low. Instead, the pressure remains at its maximum pressure and then drops to zero in a very short time. So, unfortunately, there is no slow decrease of the cylinder filling pressure. The working pressure would only be important if it needed to be adjusted, though this is normally not necessary.

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.

Do the pressure reducers meet the current requirements for safe handling?

When dealing with compressed gas systems, the safety of the user is paramount. That is why it is a matter of course at JBL to achieve the perfect balance between the highest manufacturing standards and precision. The CNC-milled pressure reducers ensure an exact fit. Internal flat seals mean long service life and robustness. Our internal quality control for each batch ensures that any irregularities are noticed before delivery and that these items can be blocked from further use. Our product is therefore safe to use. Several online marketplaces sell pressure reducers that do not meet the requirements needed for years of safe operation in aquaristics. A short product lifetime and frustration are the results and we choose to spare you this. In addition to direct contact with the JBL team of experts through our Customer Service, you are entitled to the extended 4-year guarantee (JBL GarantiePlus) from JBL.

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.

Pressure reducer for disposable and reusable cylinders at the same time?

Yes, this is possible without any problems with the JBL PROFLORA CO2 REGULATOR. If you have the SET U, you can connect reusable cylinders with the JBL PROFLORA CO2 ADAPT U - M adapter. This adapter is already installed in the SET M and can be removed with an Allen key. This makes it possible to install JBL CO2 disposable cylinders in the sizes 500g and 1200g. An ideal option for bridging the gap between bottle filling or during the holiday phase for your substitute carer.

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.

What is the minimum working pressure I need to use the JBL CO2 accessories?

All check valves or backflow protectíons from JBL require a working pressure of at least 0.6 bar for the valve to open. This feature can be found in the JBL PROFLORA CO2 TAIFUN SAFESTOP, COUNTSAFE and INLINE. The JBL PROFLORA TAIFUN diffusers also all already work with this pressure. A higher working pressure is not necessary, which is why all accessories also work with the JBL PROFLORA BIO SETs (except JBL PROFLORA CO2 STARTER BIO SET). Due to installation, a slightly higher working pressure than 0.6 bar may be necessary due to long hoses and other components, which is why the presetting of 1.2 bar is sufficient in any case.

May the JBL PROFLORA CO2 products only be used for the aquarium?

Yes, the JBL PROFLORA CO2 products are designed exclusively for use in the aquarium. The gas contained promotes plant growth and works with fine precision so that even the smallest quantities can be supplied to the aquarium. Constant operation and the safety of the fish are thus guaranteed.

The pressure reducer cannot be removed

Your system is probably still under pressure. Close the cylinder valve and remove the CO2 hose from the pressure regulator fitting. Open the regulating screw and release the pressure still present in the pressure regulator until both pressure gauges show 0 bar. Loosen the connecting nut of the pressure regulator fitting from the cylinder valve.

How is the working pressure set for the JBL PROFLORA CO2 REGULATOR ADVANCED and PROFESSIONAL pressure reducers?

When using disposable cylinders, the adjustment knob for the working pressure is also the valve for opening your CO2 cylinder. When using refillable cylinders, you have an additional cylinder valve, open this first. The cylinder pressure now shows you a pressure of approx. 60 bar. This means that the cylinder is sufficiently filled and you can continue with the next steps.
Now turn the adjustment knob for the working pressure, the large screw knob between the two pressure gauges, and observe the right-hand pressure gauge for the working pressure. The green range up to 1.2 bar is marked. Open it so far that the desired working pressure is reached. The adjustment of the screw allows the opening up to approx. 1.2 bar.
If you are using a solenoid valve, now establish the power supply so that the CO2 can pass. As a last step, open the needle valve to adjust the amount of CO2 (bubble count) and set a bubble count of approximately 10 - 15 bubbles on the bubble counter. After the run-in period of 24 hours, set the number of bubbles required for your aquarium.
