Zeovit reactors - *testing done*

Myka · #1 04-09-2008, 01:18 AM

I would be interested as well based on price. The Zeovit Reactors seem to run about $230 including a pump for the 1.5L version. How much better do you think you can do on price?

Would it be clear acrylic or white or other? A ball park figure would be good...and you're just talking the reactor, no pump or anything right? Are you including the plunger thing in your design to clean the Zeovit media?

ditto with all above, keep me posted

Keep in mind that a 1.5 liter reactor will only do a small system. I have the 3 liter reactor and use about 2.5 liters for my 425G system.

1 litre per 100 gallons according to the Zeovit guys. Have you tried running more media Tom?

1.5 litre works for me.

A few photos of the first. Still waiting for the cool Swivel Push To Connect Elbows. Not tested yet.

Some details,
-6"OD 1/4"W cast tube
-3/8" cast flanges key holed
-misc 3/4" acrylic
-seated o-ring seal
-wall mountable vertical or horizontal
-sealed unit, out of sump use
-a few fittings and hoses not in photo yet

See any funky stuff, let me know and I'll modify to correct.

This one I beleave worked out to 3.9liters - $210

1.5 litre sounds pretty small, but no problem, can make a few smaller ones aswell.

The main tube will be clear cast acrylic. Other colored parts can be used but keep in mind colored acrylic is near double the cost.

Yes to the plunger thing with a little extra.

I'll get the cadd drawing finished this weekend plus the price tag.

Thanks

Kari,

Can you make other things with your skills beyond zeovit reactors?
