Co2 scrubber moisture trap

When using a scrubber and recirculating the air from your skimmer, what are you using as a moisture trap?

I run a recirc scrubber, but can you go into more detail with your question?

If your meaning build up inside the reactor (away from the media), Icecap’s do have a moisture chamber built into the bottom.

I have the BRS jumbo DUO and my thought is, if I pull air from my skimmer it is going to be moist and it will destroy the media. So I figured there was some sort of air dryer or moisture trap between the skimmer cup and the scrubbers input.

Sorry for the blue, I just put a T inline from the skimmer to scrubber and then ran a long enough length of hose that can be easily drained when I open that valve. Not the best picture but hopefully it made sense.

Thank you, i am going to just build a simple moisture trap out of a spare water filter housing I have that I forgot about :)

Yeah,
The tubing from my skimmer back to the reactor is 3/8” and it does have some condensation, but I have not noticed it dripping into the Icecap’s reactors lower water chamber. Does your jumbo have the drain valves at the bottom?
