Ista 3 in 1 Compact V CO2 Diffuser - Large Three Essential CO2 Functions in One Compact Diffuser The Ista 3 in 1 Compact V CO2 Diffuser - Large combines a ceramic diffuser, bubble counter and one-way check valve in a single space-efficient aquarium component. Its transparent acrylic body allows the CO2 bubble rate to be observed clearly while the ceramic disc breaks the gas into fine bubbles for improved contact with the aquarium water. The integrated stainless spring check valve helps protect the regulator and solenoid from water backsiphoning when the CO2 supply is switched off. Ista Compact V Large Diffuser Features Combines diffusion, bubble counting and backflow protection Fine ceramic disc produces small CO2 bubbles Transparent acrylic chamber provides a clear bubble-rate reference Stainless spring check valve helps stop water backsiphoning Replaceable ceramic simplifies long-term maintenance Compact V-shaped design is easy to position inside the aquarium Suction-cup mounting supports secure glass installation CO2 pipe holder helps prevent tubing from bending or becoming pinched Ista Compact V Large Specifications Manufacturer model: I-552 Functions: CO2 diffuser, bubble counter and check valve Body material: Clear acrylic Diffusion media: Replaceable ceramic disc Mounting style: Suction cup Application: Freshwater planted aquariums UPC: 4719856835525 Compact V Large Compatibility/Notes Use CO2-resistant tubing and a properly regulated pressurized CO2 source. The diffuser does not replace the regulator or needle valve required to control cylinder pressure and gas flow. The ceramic must become completely saturated before producing its normal fine bubble pattern. Larger bubbles around the edge during initial use can be normal and should diminish after approximately 24 hours of soaking. Ista Compact V Large Directions Remove the upper cover and ceramic disc, fill the bubble-counter chamber with clean water and reinstall the ceramic and cover securely. Connect CO2-resistant tubing to the inlet and secure the diffuser low inside the aquarium using the suction cup. Allow the ceramic to soak for approximately 24 hours before evaluating diffusion. Begin CO2 flow at a low rate and adjust it gradually while observing the bubble counter and a separate CO2 indicator.
