Product features
- The pressure reducer reduces the cylinder pressure from approx. 60 bar (displayed on pressure gauge 1) to a low 1.2 bar working pressure (displayed on pressure gauge 2), so that the CO2 supply can be easily regulated
- Screw the pressure reducer onto the pressurised CO2 cylinder and regulate the amount of CO2 added at the fine needle valve
- The pressure reducer fits disposable CO2 cylinders (U system) and refillable cylinders (M system). By unscrewing the knurled nut (W21.8x1/14) with an Allen key, the pressure reducer fits the M10x1 thread of the disposable cylinders
- Very high quality design: anodised aluminium, precisely CNC milled in titanium colour. Reliable sealing washer instead of O-ring
- Package contents: 1 CO2 pressure reducer with 2 pressure gauges (for working & cylinder pressure) for refillable cylinders, with unscrewable adapter - then suitable for disposable CO2 cylinders

The working pressure on the pressure gauge does not change
When adjusting the working pressure, the CO2 addition must be active. Otherwise, the change will not be immediately visible when the pressure is reduced. An increase will also be visible without CO2 running, but not immediately. Therefore, you should ensure that CO2 is being added during the adjustment process whenever you reduce or increase the pressure.
-
Do the new JBL CO2 cylinders comply with the limited quantity (LQ) regulations in accordance with ADR?
Yes, the new JBL PROFLORA CYLINDER 500 U and 500 M fall under the special regulations for dangerous goods in limited quantities. This allows the pressurized gas cylinders to be shipped under simplified conditions in accordance with dangerous goods regulations, for a filling service or delivery by parcel service.

What is the minimum working pressure required for using JBL CO2 accessories?
All check valves and backflow preventers from JBL require a working pressure of at least 0.6 bar for the valve to open. This feature is found in the JBL PROFLORA CO2 TAIFUN SAFESTOP, COUNTSAFE, and INLINE. The JBL PROFLORA TAIFUN diffusers also all work with this pressure. A higher working pressure is not necessary, which is why all accessories also work with the JBL PROFLORA BIO SETs (except JBL PROFLORA CO2 STARTER BIO SET). Depending on the installation, long hoses and other components may require a slightly higher working pressure than 0.6 bar, which is why the default setting of 1.2 bar is sufficient in all cases.

Pressure reducers for disposable and reusable bottles at the same time?
Yes, this is easily possible with the JBL PROFLORA CO2 REGULATOR. If you have the SET U, you can connect reusable bottles using the JBL PROFLORA CO2 ADAPT U - M adapter. This adapter is already installed in the SET M and can be removed with an Allen key. This allows the installation of JBL CO2 disposable bottles in sizes 500g and 1200g. An ideal option for bridging the gap between bottle refills or during vacation periods when someone else is looking after the tank

How is the working pressure set on the JBL PROFLORA CO2 REGULATOR ADVANCED and PROFESSIONAL pressure reducers?
When using disposable bottles, the adjustment knob for the working pressure is also the valve for opening your CO2 bottle. When using reusable bottles, you have an additional bottle valve; open this first. The bottle pressure now shows a pressure of approx. 60 bar. This means that the bottle is sufficiently filled and you can continue with the next steps. Now turn the working pressure adjustment knob, the large screw knob between the two pressure gauges, and observe the right-hand pressure gauge for the working pressure. The green range up to 1.2 bar is marked. Open it until the desired working pressure is reached. The screw setting allows opening up to approx. 1.2 bar. If using a solenoid valve, now connect the power supply so that the CO2 can pass through. As a final step, open the needle valve to adjust the CO2 quantity (bubble count) and set the bubble counter to approximately 10–15 bubbles. After a running time of 24 hours, set the bubble count required for your aquarium.

The pressure reducer cannot be removed
Your system is probably still under pressure. Close the cylinder valve and disconnect the CO2 hose from the pressure regulator. Open the adjustment screw and release the pressure remaining in the pressure regulator until both pressure gauges read 0 bar. Loosen the connection nut of the pressure regulator from the cylinder valve.
-
Is 1.2 bar working pressure sufficient for my CO2 system?
For a long time, JBL CO2 pressure regulators had a preset working pressure of 1.5 bar. This has become established in people's minds. With the new JBL PROFLORA CO2 pressure regulators with pressure gauges, the working pressure is set to 0 bar upon delivery. You open the addition via the large adjustment knob for the working pressure and turn it until the desired working pressure is reached. The maximum setting here is approx. 1.2 bar. A minimum of 0.6 bar is required for the operation of all JBL check valves and backflow preventers. This ensures that the check valve opens. A higher working pressure is not necessary, which is why all accessories also work with the JBL PROFLORA BIO SETs. Many CO2 accessories available on the market specify very different working pressures. For safety reasons, the standard market value of 1.5 bar is specified. The working pressure required is usually the same as that specified for JBL PROFLORA CO2 accessories. Only a few exceptions require a working pressure of over 2 bar and these are very special technical components.
-
Is a tool required to adjust the CO2 level?
No, under no circumstances should a tool be used. Using a tool may cause damage. There is a thin pin at the tip of the needle valve. If the needle valve is closed clockwise and turned too tightly or with a tool, it may break off and damage the pressure control valve
-
Is a tool required to install the pressure reducer?
No, no tools are required and should not be used under any circumstances. Using a tool may cause damage. You can attach the pressure reducer to the CO2 cylinder with your hands. Turn it until you feel resistance and then turn it about half a turn further. The pressure regulator will then be securely in place. When attaching the regulator to disposable cylinders, you will hear a short hissing sound.
