Components of a ProFlora CO2 System: The Right Setup

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the main nutrient for ALL plants, and during photosynthesis it is transformed into sugar (nutrient) and oxygen due to the joint influence of light with water. Without a CO2 fertilising system in the aquarium the CO2 content is very low and the plant growth is therefore limited.

Below you will find an outline graphic with examples to explain the structure and interconnections of all the CO2 components.

1. JBL ProFlora storage bottles

Products: JBL PROFLORA u500 , JBL PROFLORA m500 SILVER and JBL PROFLORA m2000 SILVER

They contain compressed carbon dioxide (CO2), either with 500 g (as disposable or refillable bottles) or 2 kg content.

2. JBL pressure reducer

Products: JBL PROFLORA u001 and JBL PROFLORA m001

To reduce the bottle pressure of 50 bar to the lower working pressure of 1-1.5 bar, the pressure reducer has to be screwed onto the storage bottle. Both displays inform you about the remaining bottle pressure as well as the adjusted working pressure.

3. JBL pressure reducer for 2 aquariums

Products: JBL PROFLORA m001 duo

Supplies 2 tanks with CO2 out of only one storage bottle.

JBL adapter

Products: JBL PROFLORA Adapt u-m and JBL PROFLORA Adapt u201-u500

With the help of this adapter, pressure reducers for the JBL “u” system (disposable) can also be screwed onto refillable cylinders (“m” system). Pressure reducers of the “m” system also fit the disposable cylinders (“u” system) once the connecting nut has been removed.

5. CO2 hose

Products: JBL PROFLORA T3

Special hose to transport carbon dioxide.

6. High performance direct diffuser for CO2

Products: JBL PROFLORA Direct

For an economical and direct plant fertilisation: CO2 diffuser for external filters. Easy to install: connect to hose of external filter. Exact dosing: integrated bubble counter, no water backflow thanks to backflow stop.

7. Bubble counter with non-return system

Products: JBL PROFLORA CO2 Count Safe

Helps you count the added CO2 amount (countable in bubbles) conveniently and accurately. With a built-in check valve against the backflow of water.

8. Night switch-off

Products: JBL PROFLORA v002

Cuts off the CO2 supply at night. This saves 50 % CO2, because plants only need CO2 during the lighting phase!

9. pH control unit

Products: JBL PROFLORA pH-Control Touch

This pH computer displays the pH value and temperature of your aquarium water. By means of a solenoid valve (JBL ProFlora v002) it automatically controls the CO2 supply and thus sets the desired pH value. Healthy fish and perfectly growing plants are the result.

10. CO2 reactor

Products: JBL PROFLORA Taifun P , JBL PROFLORA Taifun S , JBL PROFLORA Taifun M and JBL PROFLORA Taifun Extend

The reactor helps the CO2 gas to dissolve in the water and thus provide nutrition for the plants. No extra pumps are required to operate the JBL reactor.

11. CO2 permanent direct measurement

Products: JBL PROAQUATEST CO2-pH Permanent

The liquid in the transparent container indicates the pH value and the CO2 content of the aquarium water through its colouration. Now you can decide whether to increase or reduce the CO2 supply.

Sensors for pH and temperature

Products: JBL PROFLORA pH-Sensor+Cal and X JBL pH-Control Temperatursensor

Both sensors transmit their measured values to the pH control unit

PUSH messages from JBL

What are PUSH messages? As part of the W3C standard, web notifications define an API for end-user notifications that are sent to the user's desktop and/or mobile devices via the browser. Notifications appear on the end devices as they are familiar to the end user from apps installed on the device (e.g. emails). Notifications appear on the end user’s device, just like an app (e.g. for emails) installed on the device.

These notifications enable a website operator to contact its users whenever they have a browser open - it doesn’t matter whether the user is currently visiting the website or not.

To be able to send web push notifications, all you need is a website with a web push code installed. This allows brands without apps to take advantage of many of the benefits of push notifications (personalised real-time communications at just the right moment).

Web notifications are part of the W3C standard and define an API for end user notifications. A notification makes it possible to inform the user about an event, such as a new blog post, outside the context of a website.

JBL GmbH & Co. KG provides this service free of charge, and it is easy to activate or deactivate.
