Description
GLA PRO-CO2 Reactor Atomizing Upgrade Kit
Upgrade your original GLA PRO-CO2 Reactor to the current atomizing configuration without replacing the reactor vessel.
This complete upgrade assembly replaces the original reactor lid and internal flow components with the current atomizing design, including the high-pressure ceramic atomizing core, enlarged internal standpipe, updated flow path, and larger inlet and outlet fittings.
The current atomizing design converts injected CO2 into an ultra-fine mist before it enters the reactor chamber. This increases gas-to-water contact area and helps improve CO2 dissolution and utilization compared with the earlier non-atomizing configuration.
Upgrade Features
- High-Pressure Ceramic Atomizing Core: Produces an ultra-fine CO2 mist before the gas enters the reactor chamber.
- Hybrid Atomizing Reactor Design: Combines high-pressure atomization with reactor-based dissolution for improved CO2 absorption.
- Oversized Internal Standpipe: Enlarged internal flow path helps reduce restriction and improve water movement through the reactor.
- Updated Inlet & Outlet Fittings: Uses the current larger fitting arrangement for improved flow compatibility.
- Serviceable Ceramic Atomizer: Removable atomizer assembly allows easier cleaning, maintenance, and replacement if needed.
- Push-Connect CO2 Connection: Provides quick, tool-free CO2 tubing installation and servicing.
Kit Includes
Includes the complete reactor lid and internal atomizing upgrade assembly exactly as shown in the product image.
Lid screws are not included. Please reuse the existing lid screws from your original GLA PRO-CO2 Reactor.
Best for & Compatibility
Designed for owners of the original GLA PRO-CO2 Reactor 5L with the earlier non-atomizing configuration who would like to upgrade to the current atomizing design.
Your existing compatible acrylic reactor vessel is reused with this upgrade assembly.
Important: This listing is for the upgrade kit only. The acrylic reactor vessel/body and base are not included.
Why Upgrade?
The original GLA PRO-CO2 Reactor relied on reactor-based mixing and contact time to dissolve injected CO2. The current atomizing configuration adds a ceramic atomizing stage before the reactor chamber, producing much finer CO2 bubbles and increasing gas-to-water contact area before the water passes through the reactor.
- Improved CO2 atomization
- Increased gas-to-water contact area
- Improved CO2 utilization
- Reduced gas accumulation and pocketing
- Enlarged internal flow path
- Updated serviceable internal components
For existing owners of the original GLA PRO-CO2 Reactor, this upgrade kit provides a practical way to move to the current atomizing configuration while continuing to use the existing reactor vessel.
