I have a Geo Calcium reactor 618. I moved things around in my sump and since then I have had issues with bubbles in my reactor. I have a masterflex pulling from the sump, and pushing through the masterflex.
I have rebuilt my DIY CO2 regulator and replaced the solenoid and needle valve and all compression fittings.
I replaced the sicce pump, the o-rings on the lid, all co2 lines, the probe holder fitting, and re teflon taped every joint.
I put a valve on the affluent and shut it off and let the reactor build pressure. I then observed for any water leaks and found none.
I am at a loss on this one. I ordered a new uniseal. I'm hoping that is the issue. Any other ideas where air could be coming from? It takes about 3 days for the reactor to fill up with air. I burb it and it will be good for another 3 days. The ph is holding at 6.58.
