Model PR30/30 ViaAqua® Poly Reactor is built with high quality acrylic and an easy to remove lid with a recessed o-ring. The reverse water flow design eliminates water channeling through the filter media thus efficiently utilizing filtering media. ViaAqua® Poly Reactor comes complete and ready to run with a pump and all plumbing parts. ViaAqua® Poly Reactor is designed to be installed either in-sump or hang on the tank.

Applications for PR 20/20: The ViaAqua® Poly-Reactor is used for a number of different applications: phosphate resins, phosphate sponge, activated carbon, nitrate sponge and other resin filtering media. When the ViaAqua® Poly-Reactor is used with activated carbon, a higher flow pump can be used. Setup #1: carbon and phosphate. Setup #2: carbon, sand and phosphates.

• Installation：

  Choose a desired location for Poly reactor. Place pump in desired location. Secure the pump and connect a piece of tubing from the pump to the center barbed fitting (IN) secure the tubing with the compression nut. Connect discharge tubing to the output of the poly reactor and secure the tubing with compression nut. Connect the sediment discharge filter to the end of the output tubing. Secure the output tubing and sediment discharge filter with suction cups. Unlatch lid and remove it. Remove the top media sponge and media strainer. Add desired media (follow manufactures guidelines for media requirements for a given aquarium size. flow rate and precautions.) Replace media sponge and media strainer. Verify the O-ring is clean and free of all media. A small amount of silicone lubricant can be used to ensure a good seal. Replace lid press directly down so that the down tube agains with the barbed fitting (IN). Secure with latches. Plug pump into a GFCI outlet.

• Maintenance：

  FOR MODEL PR20/20 AND PR30/30
  Routine maintenance is required to ensure the maximum performance and the longevity of the ViaAqua® water pump. For proper operation of the water pump: clean the pump, impeller and intake strainers every three weeks. Failure to do so will cause premature failure of the pump. Basic maintenance of the ViaAqua® pump:
  	Disconnect the water pump from the power supply prior removing the pump from the aquarium. Remove either the prefilter or intake filter strainer. Rinse out prefilter sponge of all debris. Remove the impeller cover. Once the impeller cover is removed, slide both the impeller and shaft out of the main body of the pump and clean well. Do not use any soap or detergents during cleaning. After the impeller and shaft are cleaned, use a small brush to clean inside of the motor housing . Reassemble above parts and your ViaAqua® pump is ready to use. Make sure the bushing is reassembled properly. Failure to do so will cause permanent damage to the pump.

ViaAqua® Acro-Cal Calcium Reactor offers a simple and convenient solution for maintaining calcium and alkalinity in your reef tank, both being the backbone to a successful thriving reef environment. How does it works? CO2 is used to lower the pH in the reaction chamber. When the PH is lowered to 6.5-6.8 the circulating water and low pH begins to break down the media creating effluent water that is saturated with carbonates and calcium that continuously drip back to the aquarium. After the initial setup, the calcium reactor requires minimal maintenance. A calcium reactor is almost a necessity for tanks heavily stocked with stony coral, where calcium and alkalinity demands are high and will promote coral line algae growth. Acro-Cal Calcium Reactor provides a steady of calcium by using CO2 to dissolve media in the reactor and, thus, releasing calcium into your water. The effluent released also acts as a buffer to stabilize kH.

  pH Controller and Probe Installation

  Remove the rubber plug. Slide the compression fitting over the sensor probe. Insert probe into the compression fitting and hand tighten nut to seal.

  Two types of pH controller:
  a. pH monitor: Mount the control box so that the LCD screen is visible. The read out should have a pH of 6.5-7.5 ideally.
  pH should be maintained between 6.5-6.8. If pH is too high, decrease water flow and/or increase CO2.
  b. pH controller: Unit require a CO2 regulator that has an electronic solennoid. Plug the solenoid into the pH controller. Turn on CO2 to a bubble for a second. Set desired pH between 6.5-7.5 on the controller, the solenoid and controller will now monitor CO2 by adding CO2 when needed.

  

• Maintenance：

  Impeller Maintenance Routine manteinance is required to ensure the maximum performance and the longevity of the ViaAqua® Acro-Cal Calcium Reactor. For proper operation of the Calcium Reactor, clean the impeller once a month. a) Remove the top of the calcium reactor. b) Remove the impeller cover. c) Remove the impeller and shaft. With a small brush clean the inside of the impeller and impeller cover. d) If the impeller does not spin easily on the shaft, soak the unit with 3:1 vinegar solution. Remove all calcium residue between the shaft and rotor. e) Reassemble. Replace calcium media every 3 to 6 months depending on the usage. Clean the ViaAqua® Acro-Cal Calcium Reactor every 3 to 6 months along with the water pump. Make sure all parts are free of debris and calcium build-up.

  PH Controller (recommended) is used to keep the effluent water at a preset level. Items needed: – pH controller – CO2 regulator with solenoid – Container for the effluent water (must fit pH probe) Installation: – Secure the container to the pH probe. – Plug the electronic solenoid into the pH controller. – Follow pH controller manufacture instructions for proper unit setting. If you still have questions about how to install or maintain the Acro-Cal Reactor, consult your local fish store. Continue monitoring the water quality (calcium, alkalinity, effluent pH) to ensure a properly working Calcium Reactor.
