 Introduction

Congratulations on purchasing the Blue-White CO2 Feed System!
Your CO2 Feed System is pre-configured for 0-80 scfh flow and ready for use. The system is designed to give many years of service and hassle-free pH adjustment.
We thank you for your business. For more information or questions on this prod-uct, please visit us at www.blue-white.com

What’s in the box

  • CO2 Feed System Complete with 110VAC Power Supply Cord.
  • Diffuser
  • Mounting Brackets (4)
  • Tubing 10’
  • Stainless Steel float (for 30-350 scfh flow)
  • Electrical Schematics
    Note: Check all packaging for completeness and inspect for damage before installation.

See Section 9.0 for information on Accessory Items (optional items which may be included with system, if ordered.)

System Features

  • Simple design allows safe and effective pH control. The CO2 feed system maintains the desired pH level by directly injecting carbon dioxide into the water supply. This process creates carbonic acid, which lowers the water’s pH level naturally without hazardous chemicals such as muriatic acid or sulfuric acid.
  • Completely enclosed in a NEMA 4X enclosure to protect against harsh environments. Simple installation for indoor and outdoor use.
  • Flow adjustment via the Blue-White F-440 adjustable flow meter is accurate and consistent, and includes red indicator marker.
  • Simple activation with stainless-steel solenoid valve and illuminated on-off switch.
  • Includes inlet/outlet tubing and enclosure mounting tabs.

Dimensions

 Installation

Always wear protective clothing, face shield, safety glasses and gloves when working on your unit. Use caution when lifting and mounting equipment. When in doubt, contact Factory for assistance.

Installation Requirements
Power Supply: 115VAC 50/60Hz – provided with 6 foot power cord.
24VDC Unit – option to wire 24VDC directly
CO2 Supply: CO2 (Carbon Dioxide gas) can be supplied with by filling empty canisters provided by Blue-White or another source. A pressure regulator is required to provide proper pressure to Feed System. Pressure shall be no more than 100 psi.
Wall Mount Space: The CO2 Feed System can easily mount to any wall space. We recommend mounting in covered area where exposure to sunlight and rain is minimal.
Wall Mount Weight: Approximately 5 lbs (2.3 kg). Please use appropriate mounting hardware. Stainless steel mounting tabs are provided.

CO2 Flow meter Floats (Desired flow range)
The CO2 Feed System will ship with the PVDF (opaque/white) float (0 – 80 scfh) installed. If the higher flow range of 30-350 scfh is desired, you will need to replace PVDF float with the stainless steel float.

To replace float:

  1. Loosen top and bottom union nuts.
  2. Slowly pull flow meter body out. Be careful not to loose o-rings.
  3. With care, remove top guide rod holder and place to the side.
  4. Slowly tilt flow meter until PVDF float slides off guide rod. Place float to the side.
  5. Place stainless steel float onto guide rod. Ensure float is in proper “up” position. The larger diameter section of the float should be at the top.
  6. Replace the guide rod holder. Be careful not to bend guide rod.
  7. With o-rings in place, slide meter body back into place.
  8. Tighten top and bottom union nuts.

CO2 Tube connections
Inlet: Use provided 1/4” ID x 3/8” OD tubing to connect to CO2 supply. If using other tubing, tubing must be rated for 100 psi and be compatible with the conditions of the location.
Outlet: Use provided 1/4” ID x 3/8” OD tubing to connect to injection point. If using other tubing, tubing must be rated for 100 psi and be compatible with the conditions of the location.

Wiring
The CO2 Feed System includes a pre-wired cord and standard plug for 110 AC 50/60Hz power outlet for normal operation.
For 24VDC wiring

Failure to operate according to the electrical code of practice may result in electric shock injury or  even death. Note: When in doubt regarding your electrical installation, contact a licensed electrician.

Typical Installation

Installation Instructions

  1. . Place and position equipment and secure CO2 Feed System enclosure to solid wall surface. Mount at convenient height for adjustment.
  2. Install CO2 Feed System close to CO2 source.
  3. Plug power supply cord into properly grounded power receptacle. Check to make sure proper voltage is being used.
  4.  Install CO2 heater onto CO2 cylinder, if required.
  5. Ensure CO2 cylinder(s) are properly secured.
  6. Connect pressure regulator.
  7. Connect tubing from regulator to CO2 Feed System inlet connector port. Cut to length.
  8. Connect outlet tubing from CO2 Feed System outlet port to appropriate diffuser, injector, or eductor. (Use PTFE tape as necessary when installing injector or eductor.)

The CO2 Feed System includes a pre-wired cord and standard plug for 115 AC 50/60Hz power outlet for normal operation.

Start-Up and Operation

Start Up

  1.  After all connections and mounts have been secured and checked, proceed with start up of the system.
  2. Open the gas cylinder valve slowly.
  3.  Adjust output pressure of the regulator to the desired pressure. Do not exceed 100 psi.
  4.  Switch the CO2 Feed System switch to the on position. Switch will illuminate.
  5. Adjust the needle valve on the F-440 Flow meter to desired flow rate. We recommended starting at lower setting, monitoring the pH, and then adjusting to greater flow if needed.

Operation

Maintenance and Service

  1. Before continued operation, check that all connections are secure. Check for leaks. Re-tighten or secure connections as necessary.
  2.  When system is not in use, switch on/off position to “Off”. Lighted switch will turn off.
  3. With system running, monitor pH levels, and adjust flow valve accordingly. Be sure flow provided is proper for the water flow, or water volume being treated.
  4. Monitor CO2 tank levels, and schedule replacement or refilling accordingly.
  5. Check all connections and pressure regulator settings weekly. Re-tighten, adjust, or secure connections as necessary.
  6. Check pressure regulator to determine when to refill or replace CO2 cylinders.
  7. Clean or replace CO2 tubing as needed. Inspect regularly.
  8. See section 9.0 for spare parts and other accessories.
