Pacific sun calcium reactor

[maddox]

Hello, how can i solve this problem, I bought calcium reactor pacific sun ac2 used older model but controller v3 with wifi. I was trying to start it yesterday but i have a problem that if i open co2 at slow bubble rate and psi 20 it wont fill mixing chamber with co2 gap in 5 minutes while manual writes it must fill within 60s to reach optical sensor, than i tried to 30psi and fast bubble counter not 5 per second but really fast, and it filled in 20second optical sensor turned off solenoid but it started to open close every 10-15 seconds i think it because its not a clear gap but co2 with lots of bubbles so sensor doesnt work properly, but my pump cant reduce flow. Or what may be the reason? I put only 3.5 liters of media instead of 12liters because just wanted to try for the first time how it goes. Maybe need to add more media? Also there should be valve inside i made my own and first i eas trying with all hole open, now I half closed it still same. Please find attached video.

I'm not sure of the answer you're looking for.

Have you already looked at the manual? This section seems to lay out the startup process:

10.4. Starting the Reactor
After making proper connections you can start your reactor. Proceed as follows:
1) Make sure CO2 is connected and the valve is open (the solenoid valve should be
disconnected from the controller and the controller should be disconnected from
the power supply).
2) The main circulation pump should run and no air should be present in the reactor’s
column.
3) Connect the solenoid valve to the CalcFeeder PRO controller and plug in the optical
sensor placed in the reactor’s CO2 Mixing Column.
4) Connect the power supply to the CalcFeeder PRO controller. After the preliminary
test, the device is ready for operation. If there is no CO2 in the reactor’s column, the
indicator light on the optical sensor will start to flash RED, and after a few seconds,
the solenoid valve will open and supply CO2 to the reactor’s column.
5) After a few CO2 feed cycles, it’s level should be adequate which will be indicated
by the optical sensor light on the LCD display (transitioning from RED to GREEN).
6) During the first dozen or so hours of reactor operation, the controller will feed CO2
and start the solenoid valve rather often until the water in the reactor’s column
becomes sufficiently saturated with gas. Later the starts/stops of the solenoid valve
will be much less frequent and will depend only on the amount of water supplied by
the reactor to the filtration system in your aquarium.
7) In the first days of reactor operation set the CalcFeeder PRO controller metering
pump flow to 100-200ml/h and after that increase slowly according to your
specific needs.
8) Upon 24 hours, re-check reflux pH. If it’s too high, then CO2 flow should be
increased by 1-2 bubbles per second. Optionally you can mount pH probe in the
top cover of the main Reaction/Media Chamber (pH Probe slot with label on the
top cover).
Important!
It is strongly recommended to run Degassing Mode minimum twice
per week by using CalcFeede Pro controller.
If pH is increasing between degassing, then run Degassing Mode
every day, it means then that the Calcium Reactor Media is releasing a lot
of neutral gases that take space in the Mixing Chamber instead of CO2.
