🐠 FZONE DC CO2 Solenoid Valve: Ideal Magnetic Valve for Easy-to-Install Aquarium CO2 System Regulator and Optimal Water Plant Growth in Fish Tanks Review

I bought two such magnets from myself for two planted tanks. Both work perfectly. They get a little warm, but this is normal for the function of the valve (solenoid), they can still be touched with bare hands. My recommendation: Place it at least 12 inches above the homemade CO2 valve so the baking soda and citric acid mixture doesn't reach the valve lest it fail due to the hardened mixture inside the valve.

This works exactly how I need it, it plugs into a smart socket and turns on/off the baking soda/citric acid CO2, when i need it I see a lot of feedback that the valve is leaking. I experienced the same thing, but then I realized that my input/output is the opposite. It is not labeled and CO2 pressure can cause the valve to open if misadjusted. You want the gas pressure to open the valve, not close it. If you have a slight leak when it's off, try flipping the inlet/outlet!

I wanted to use it in combination with a timer output to control my homemade CO2 system in my aquarium. (citric acid and baking soda). Unfortunately, when the power went out, it only slowed the flow enough to be noticeable. After unplugging it to see if I could fix the issues, I realized I could actually blow air through it with my mouth while it was closed. (btw, don't do that with a good one, you introduce moisture) I thought about returning it but it was cheap and I'm lazy. Eventually I…

If you want this to work with your pressurized CO2 system like the Fluval 45G you will need to buy a real regulator and adapters which cost around $50-100. The reason this solenoid is not working is because neither the regulator that comes with the Fluval CO2 kit nor the solenoid have a pressure relief valve. So technically if you turn the solenoid off overnight, pressure will build up and either rupture the duct. (that's the connection between the regulator and the solenoid) or the solenoid…

Brought and installed on homemade CO2 for aquariums, literally plug and play, connected to the smart output so 1 hour before the lights turn off 1 hour before lighting and boom can be switched on. People say there are leaks etc. I haven't noticed any and honestly I'm hoping it's very small as I'm using a 2 liter coke bottle with sugar yeast etc and was wondering if I am later woken up by the big bang and there was a mix everywhere. 1st night so time will tell. But having this control for this…
