AQUATEK ChillMaster Cooling Fan Series
Q: Why can’t I fit the clamp bracket of ChillMaster cooling fan over the lip/edge of my tank?
A: The clamp bracket is designed to fit over aquarium lip 1/2 inch or less. These cooling fans are designed primarily to fit over salt water aquariums made with fortified glass, which are typically rimless (no lip).
But we can offer a quick fix for this problem. We suggest that you go to a nearby hardware store (Home Depot, Ace… etc) and purchase a piece of clear plastic (or pixie glass, they usually come in pre-cut 8×11 pieces) and a tube of epoxy (a special plastic adhesive). Once you have these items ready, thoroughly clean the outside edge of the aquarium where you would like to attach the fan to, then, glue the clear plastic piece to the outside of the edge. The plastic wall should rise at least 1 inch above the edge of your aquarium; this will ensure a secure fixture of the fan to the plastic wall.
Q: Can I change the direction of airflow when I am using ChillMaster cooling fans?
A: The direction of air flow can be easily changed by detaching the clamp bracket and swap the left to right and vice versa. The clamp bracket can be detached by removing the screw that is used to secure it to the frame of the fan.
AQUATEK CO2 Regulator Solenoid
Q: Why does not the output pressure meter drop to zero after detached from the CO2 cylinder?
A: If your CO2 cylinder is not equipped with pressure release valve, then, residual CO2 gas could be trapped inside the regulator causing the meter to register output pressure while detached from the CO2 cylinder. To reset the output pressure meter, simply loosen the needle valve and turn on the solenoid by plugging it into an outlet. The trapped CO2 gas will be released and meter will reset to zero.
Q: Where can I find the CO2 cylinders?
A: Contact local aquarium store, the local beverage factory which sells fountain drinks or local paintball shop.
Q: How can I adjust output/working pressure?
A: Aquatek regulator is designed and manufactured with a Fixed Working Pressure. The fixed working pressure is beneficial in maintaining the consistency of CO2 flow rate as measured by the bubble counter or flow meter. Many users of other manufacturer’s regulator which has a output pressure control knob experience difficulties in maintaining a consistency in flow rate as measured by bubble count. The difficulty is often a result of the low working pressure due to the high/low pressure meter controlled by the flow rate knob. To overcome this issue, the common fix is to loosen the pressure knob to increase the working pressure significantly in order to maintain bubble count consistency.
AQUATEK 3-in-1 Diffuser with Bubble Counter and Check Valve
Q: What is the easier way to remove the ceramic disk to fill the diffuser with water?
A: Here is a tip to help you remove the ceramic disk for the first time: first, remove the plastic cap, then find the edge of the blue rubber ring and pinch on the edge to tug upwards. This may require a bit of force. You may also use a pair of tweezers to tug on the blue rubber ring. The first time is the toughest.
