Description
 

AQUARIUMPLANTS.COM's own Co2 Regulator:

 

If you want the best, here it is. We designed, tested, and build these regulators in our fabrication facility (in the U.S.A.)  They combine ALL of the BEST features

that a TOP quality regulator should have. After exhaustive R&D and thousands of hours of testing, we are confident enough

to "guarantee" that you won't find a better quality, more precise, longer warranty Co2 regulator/solenoid/needle valve on the

planet. We are so confident as to the unsurpassed quality of this regulator, that we are backing it up with an unrivaled (bumper

to bumper) 3 year FULL warranty!

We know for a fact that some regulators on the market are experiencing a failure rate of 1-3 units out of 10. (this is why they

have ALL reduced their warranty to 6 months)

 

OUR TEST RESULTS:

 

For our "test bed" we sent 10 of these to aquarists to test and critique and offer feedback.  The results: 100% positive  Not

only was the test 100% positive, but ALL 10 purchased the units that they were testing even though they all had other units.

Some of the comments/feedback from the testers:

 

  • "this is the best regulator I've ever used"
  • "unbelievable bubble count accurracy and consistancy"
  • "I'm moving back to Germany, and I am taking 10 of these with me"
  • "I have battled problems with both JBJ and Milwaukee...this works flawlessly"
  • "nobody is as fanatical about quality as I am, this is a perfect regulator"
  • "after 3 months of testing for you, all I can say is DON'T CHANGE A THING", this is flawless"
  • I have 2 aquariums with Co2 systems.  One has a JBJ reg and the other a Milwaukee, can I trade them both in?"
  • "in the past 11 years, I have gone thru 5 regulators.  I am convinced that this is the LAST one I'll ever have to buy."
  • "without a doubt, I initially thought I would find problems with functionality, but, I must say, this works flawlessly."

 

FEATURES/FUNCTIONS:

 

  • Industrial "bullet proof" regulator chassis
  • Dual Guage (tank volume & flow pressure)
  • Fully adjustable flow (others have a "fixed" flow)
  • Finest, most precise "Laboratory grade" needle valve (80 threads per inch)(Clippard)(made in USA)
  • Brass top quality "Laboratory grade" check valve (Clippard)(made in USA)
  • German built (Burkert) electric solenoid (tested to 10 million cycles)
  • Bubble counter site guage
  • Low profile: 1.5" higher than tank valve
  • Fully tested & calibrated
  • 3 year FULL warranty
  • Hand assembled in USA

Product update: We found a way to improve this product.  We are now manufacturing ALL of the regulators with an O-ring (permaseal) between the reg and co2 tank.  This elimanates potential leaks at the connections.  All regulators ordered after Oct. 27th with include this feature.  If you have an earlier model, we offer a "retrofit" kit.  If you have a different reg and would like to add this feature, we have several methods to utilize to achieve this.

 

NOTE: This is an introductory sale price.

Solid system, easy to use, but VERY touchy March 29, 2008
Reviewer: Mark from MD United States  
I have no prior experience with Co2 regulators but after careful research, it seemed that aquariumplants.com's regulator seemed to be the most promising.  I wanted a regulator that I could set and forget.  It certainly does just that.  

However, two issues that I have with the system:  1.  When it came in, the solenoid did not completely shut off airflow when turned off.  I had to dissemble the unit(with staff guidance and very easy with a sharp screwdriver) to clean a small peice of dust from the plunger that was preventing the seal.  2.  The needle valve is VERY touchy and hard to set exactly where I'd like for it to go.  Again, I have no experience with these systems so I'm not sure if this is fixable or not. 

Just my thoughts.  It's been working for about 4 months now and does what I need it to.

Outstanding CO2 System December 12, 2006
Reviewer: Patrick Doyle from Glorieta, NM United States  
This is a truly an amazing CO2 injection system. I have never used an injection system (only fermentation) before thinking it would be above my capabilities. Your instructions were 100% on target and I had CO2 setup and flowing perfectly in 20 minutes...from start to finish. When I was done I sat back and watched the reactor "go to town" and wondered why I had waited so long. People..get this system. It is truly a "set it and forget it" complete solution!

Definitely Better Than Others I've Used September 28, 2006
Reviewer: William Lenz from Aurora, IL United States  
This is a very good regulator, especially for the price.  I only have a few minor comments worth noting.  

First is the locking nut on the needle valve.  It is useless.  The adjustment screw itself offers good adjustment, but every time you tighten the locking nut to maintain its position, it exerts just enough force to pull the adjustment screw outward and changes your setting, no matter how careful you are in not moving the adjustment screw while locking it.  Not a big deal though; I don't use the locking nut and it works fine.  

Second, the instructions could use a diagram that identifies the components. Not a big deal to those already familiar with regulators.  While we are at it, a comment on the futility of the locking nut for the needle valve would also be in order.

Third, while the description touts the German and USA part content, which is completely true, some of the content is made in China.  Probably inescapable in today's day and age.

This regulator's performance can be summed up in a couple of words  :set it and forget it.

No probelms, but no instructions. September 21, 2006
Reviewer: Matthew Burk from Goodyear, AZ United States  
Would give it 5 stars except there were no clear instructions.  There was documentation for the regulator proper, but no overall installation and usage instructions.  Not a big deal if you already know how to install, etc.  But I still haven't figured out the second know on the needle valve (don't know what it's for) :P
