The co2 regulator by Elos

[elosusa]

This is the new co2 regulator model with 3 exits (only 1 is used in this picture). To my knowledge, this is the first with multiple exists. This is great for people who use CO2 to mix new saltwater or have a frag tank next to the display. When I received this unit I was surprised at how heavy it is. I especially like the bubble counter which is blown glass. You can check the rest of the CO2 accessories on the website. Jesse

I figured I would give this thread a bump with some new updated pictures.

Here is a picture of a few of the elos co2 parts. Not in the picture is our solenoid but there is a thread on that somewhere in our forum:) In this picture I have the co2 regulator set up with 2 needle valves (elos spillo L) and the high (elos Control H) and low pressure gauges (elos Control L). You can opt not to purchase the low pressure gauge and add a third needle valve (elos spillo L). All of the connections have quick release fittings and our regulator fits standard US bottles, our disposable bottles or the German standard bottle.
Also in this picture is a ball valve (elos flip), glass bubble counter (elos conta) and the glass u-tube (elos U-tube). The small bolts with o-rings are removed to add the 2 needle valves and the low pressure gauge in this picture.

Lastly, a picture with the low pressure gauge removed and a total of three needle valves added.

Let me know if you have any questions.

CRAZY :D

Where do you adjust the pressure on that regulator, or is it a fixed pressure?

[elosusa]

You can adjust on each needle valve for fine adjustments and/or the top for gross adjustments. The small circles on the top are for grip.

The needle valves will not adjust the pressure, they only adjust the flow. I cannot see the top. Is that where you adjust the regulator pressure.

[elosusa]

It must be my bad description but yes the top of the regulator turns to adjust the pressure going to the needle valve and the needle valve takes care of the fine adjustments after that.

Forgive me, but that tubing looks like polyethylene tubing that is used quite often for ice maker water lines.
Is polyethylene tubing CO2 proof?
I have been searching for that data, but unable to find it.

[elosusa]

Silicone tubing but you can use other types in the quick release fittings if you choose.

[hahnmeister]

Is it actual CO2 proof tubing? You lose about 25% of your CO2 otherwise... right through the wall of the tube.

[elosusa]

yes it is co2 proof silicone tubing. I believe what you are referring to is people using standard silicone air line which was common with people in planted aquariums for awhile. Of course, the fittings allow you to use really any type of tubing.

Okie doke, found the thread. I'll take the reg & solenoid and whatever else you think will help run the thing. I need this ca rx to run flawlessly ... I'm sick of mixing powder. Be prepared to spend some more time on the phone with me .... :) 976-ELOS
