What if we try to put a cotton filter on the air intake pipe? Or use a pipe with a larger diameter?

Jennifer5784

The problem is most likely due to the "salting" of the air tube. However, salt accumulates at the pump inlet, preventing sufficient flow. The instructions also state that when cleaning the skimmer, you should turn off the power to the skimmer for cleaning this area, but it doesn't help globally; it still needs to be cleaned.

Melinda

I don't argue, but not every 3 days!

Cindy

Where does the air intake come from? (room, samp, street)

Andrew9246

Samp is in the bathroom. The intake pipes can be extended, but as I understand it, the longer they are, the less air the pumps will draw in.

Sara

The cross-section of the tube can be increased; a similar situation was observed when the intake was from the loggia during the winter-spring period. As soon as the humidity increased, the injector would coke within just 3-5 days. Now the collector from the syringe filled with synthetic winterizer is tied to the heating riser, and I haven't cleaned anything for a month.

Well, I will try to take the tube out of the samp cabinet.

I know that some reefers make a filter at the entrance of the intake tube from a 20cc syringe, filled with charcoal and silica gel for drying the air.

Ryan7682

I also think about silica gel. Where can I get it...

I extended the intake hoses by a meter, moving the intake outside the aquarium. Water started flowing from the foam filter with small bubbles, which is a bad sign - it means there isn't enough air. By morning, the foam filter had hardly collected anything.

My pen has an expansion chamber, probably for mixing ozone and air, as there are two inlets and one outlet, and its size is about that of a 20 cubic centimeter syringe, maybe a little larger. From it, I ran a suction tube about 2.5 meters long. Could something similar be constructed for the Delta?

Julie

I will think.

Jerry

It's complete nonsense. I use silica gel due to the use of ozone, and the conclusion is this: the tube (which contains almost 800g of silica gel) is used up in about 3 days. Therefore, I can't even imagine why you would install a pre-filter made from a 20cc syringe - it makes no sense at all. Or if you change the filler every 3 hours - then it makes sense, of course.

David953

Do not change it, but rather heat it in a pan; the smell is really terrible. I have been working with silica gel for thirty years, and I change the desiccants in my filters every eight years. So making such categorical conclusions, like complete nonsense, is at least an unthoughtful remark.

Alejandro

I haven't worked for 30 years, but in practice, I say that there is. It sits in the cabinet - it dies in 3 days on the ceiling. It can be revived by calcining (there's a lot of information about this on Google) in the oven (I do it at a temperature of 150 - not higher due to the faster destruction of the granules). During calcination, the structure deteriorates over time, and it becomes less effective. It's probably better to change it once a month. I have 3 sets that I use in rotation, and I change them periodically.
