A Quick Word Of Warning About Aquamas.

[afroturf]

I think you should have a word with aquamas if your regulators knackered, that along with them sending you a empty canister would please anyone.

 

[Dave Spencer]

Yeah, that`s 5kg of CO2 dumped in to 60l in less than a week. Lucky there are no fish in there. I didn`t realise the regulator had failed first time round because I was running my CO2 dropper in the yellow. I guess I am going to have to cut back on my photoperiod and ferts until I can get a replacement.

Bad luck i feel for you, Do you think that your original canister from aquamas was full when it arrived, now you know the regulator had failed?

 

[Dave Spencer]

Yes, I am pretty sure it was full when I received it. When I think back, it did feel quite heavy.

Another thing, when I use the regulator to adjust the outgoing pressure it does feel a little rough, like something is grating inside.

Thats really rotten Dave

I hope you get a replacement/refund out of them.
First the hose fittings and now this,

Could it be anything to do with being dropped/rough handling as per your cylinder handle ?

Just heard from my ex flatmates in liverpool that my aquamas syatem has arrived there rather than at my home i nottingham . I must have forgot to change the delevery address on my ebay account. Gives me a excuse to go up and see them at least .

 

[Dave Spencer]

Good luck with yours. I am in the middle of an email conversation with Frank Masurek at the moment.

I can't even try mine, as my drop tester hasn't come and I don't want to kill my fish, plus I'm still going over the destructions as I don't want to mess it up connection wise.

Good luck with Frank.

Dave, I know how this feels... Same with mine however it was a leak between the reg and solenoid... Taped and thread locked, been perfect since!

 

[blue acara]

Sorry to hear that ure regulators broken Dave - as you say at least there were no fish in there. Your system must have taken a big knock in transport- even the handle on the co2 bottle was broken. Hopefully the rest of us wont have such bad luck.

[sophos9]

Dave, you saying the whole canister was blown into your tank?

 

[2pods]

This is the third day of Co2 and the bottle is empty just like Dave Spencer's

Dave, if you're on could you tell me what was done re Aquamas ?

and if you replaced a seal where was it ?

I'm fed up.

I've also noticed the solenoid was loose and swinging about the reg !!

Everything last night was tight
