11. Examining the special CO check valve
2
The check valve protects your valuable pressure reducer from corrosion
caused by back-flowing water. It will operate reliably over a very long
period. However, as dirt, paint and metal particles may collect on the
sealing surfaces over the course of time, the check valve should be
examined every 2 years at the latest and replaced if necessary.
Examination procedure:
• Close needle valve on CO pressure reducer.
2
• After 24 hours, unscrew the coupling ring on the side of the check
valve facing the pressure reducer.
• Pull off CO hose and check whether any water has entered into
2
the hose. If so: Replace check valve. If not: Reconnect hose to
check valve.
• Reset number of bubbles.
Don't worry: An effectively functioning aquarium will normally have no
problem coping without a CO supply for 24 hours
2
Important note: Use only check valves designed for use with CO
as the special CO check valve from DENNERLE. Standard air
2
check valves may become brittle through contact with CO within only
2
a short space of time, resulting in leaks. This usually goes unnoticed.
12. Replacing the special CO indicator
2
Like most colouring agents, the indicator is subject to ageing as a result
of photochemical processes. In order to guarantee the quickest and
most exact colour response at all times, we thus recommend filling the
test container with fresh special CO indicator every 4 weeks.
2
• For this purpose, open the test container and pour the old indica-
tor down the drain.
• Rinse test container with tap water and dry with a kitchen cloth or
similar before refilling.
13. Cleaning the CO long-term test
2
Use warm water and a soft sponge. Do not use any cleaning agents!
The test container can be dismantled for cleaning. If necessary, grease
the two O-rings slightly (!) with Vaseline (from a pharmacy, drugstore)
before re-assembling the test container.
IMPORTANT: Do not use any other lubricants, as these may lead to incor-
rect colour indications.
