Nothing is wrong with anything. Most effective is separate, recirculating is best. Don’t know who you know. Have run sulfur many times many ways.
I run a recirculating pump, A kamoer I push through. I Use a Calcium Reactor Aquamaxx T-3 the largest one converted to a Sulphur reactor.
Yes. Dump some of first effluent, keep drip slow. Does the effluent go out of the top of the reactor? This is better, but not necessary.
Well it goes out the output . But I have read if I use the . De gas port as the effluent out it helps with gas escaping...ok I have already dumped a few reactor's with of effluent..,..now have it dripping 1 drip per second....in a water container...so now do I just test daily..till reads 0
Sound good. The reason I ask if the output is on top is that you don’t have to degas because, obviously, gas escapes with the effluent. If not regular degassing is required. Sulfur is tricky, and I did it well, however do a lot of research and understanding the process and pitfalls. Imo, I would double check all advice with multiple sources to insure security and success.
That's impressive.....I do want to get a orp price for this ..with a meter ...but can't find anything about what size will go in this ..model the karolin c1502. ....was going to get a 7 in one ..but the probe looks to big for the hole ..Sound good.

Here is mine that I run for about 5 years on a 300 gallon DT. It was ORP controlled and pH monitored.
thanks. The controller is Aqua Medic, if you look closely you can see the negative ORP reading (-168). The controller would turn a pump on when the ideal valve was reached about -90, iirc. After months it just stayed on and flow was a steady stream. I had to start removing some sulfur because it was working too well and the valve was approaching -400 which was too low.
So say when you remove some sulfur... Do u have to wash it all out and start again.....like when you first start up ...........and would something like this work just to get me in ballpark for the orp.
That is an awesome looking controller, however don’t think the probes would fit inside reactor. An important consideration with ORP is most monitors don’t measure negative values. There is a hack that you can reverse something and force it to read negative, but I have never done it. With removing sulfur, I opened reactor and took some out, it started up again in a day or two, no big deal.
This one says it it can read -2000 to 2000+MV ..dont no if thats any good ..but all the units use the same plug . So can't I just buy a probe that will fit and use that .... ......shut the reactor effluent off for 6 hours till ten tonight as 24 was way to long ..
Yes, -2000 is more than enough, however don’t know about probes that fit? Does not hurt to stop effluent if you monitor no3. Mine would stop all the time in the beginning when ORP got positive number.
Just tested again ...0 nitrites....0 nitrates...so started the effluent dripping at 1 drip a second.from the Degas valve ....into a 25l jerry can .....see what it reads in the morning..fingers crossed all still good ..
Well tested this morning and test results back to wear that was before ..and eggy smell back flow must have stopped sometimes through the night......as I don't get the same sort of flow through the de gas valve unless it's below the reactor itself..so closed it and use ING the proper effluent output ...smell has gone ..going to try 1 drip every 2 seconds till later when I'm back in
