XVI- Make proper adjustment to flow and volume of Co2 injected based on your Aquarium’s
consumption rate.
XVII- During the first few days of initial set up; it is imperative to monitor your Aquarium’s pH,
Calcium, Magnesium and Alkalinity values frequently to avoid any possible harm to the
inhabitants due to any sudden parameter swings.
XVIII- After making adjustments to the reactor, it should be left for a few hours to allow the changes
to take effect and the system to reach equilibrium.
XIX- Make any adjustments only in small increments.
Maintenance:
Your Vertex™ Calcium Reactor can be fully disassembled for thorough maintenance. A flathead screw driver is
required to perform this task. In order to disassemble your reactor simply follow these steps:
1- Unplug the reactor; never touch electrical outlets with wet hand. Do not attempt to service or
disassemble an electrical device when connected to electricity and/ or in operation.
2- Unplug your metering pump or gravity fed valve to stop flow of Aquarium water through the reactor.
3- Remove the tubes from the Quick-Connect fittings. Using a small Bucket, drain the tubing to avoid any
spillage.
4- Remove your reactor from its environment one chamber at a time.
5- Follow the assembly guide in reverse to disassemble your reactor fully.
6- Now you can clean, service or refill your reactor.
7- To put back in operation; simply follow the assembly section of this manual.
Disassembling your pump for decalcification, removing any possible debris from pump-head and/ or any other
service can be achieved following the steps below:
1- Remove the pump from the reactor following the instructions provided in this guide in reverse.
2- Hold the shaft using a dry cloth and remove it from the motor block.
Caution: The magnet used in this product is extremely powerful. Ensure that your fingers are not
placed in between the impeller and the pump block. Jumping magnet can pose a pinch hazard. Further
to that allowing the Impeller assembly to jump into the Motor-Block can damage the shaft and/or
Bearing. Insert the Impeller into the Motor-Block gently and assure it is in the right position.
The pump is now fully disassembled and can be cleaned using clean water or a VERY mild solution of Acetic Acid
(Household white vinegar). Ultimately for thorough cleaning; the pump could be placed in this solution overnight.
Using strong Acidic mediums or household cleaning solutions can possibly damage your pump casing, internal
parts and/ or reactor. If an acidic solution is used; it is imperative to clean all parts with Luke warm water before
