Ok here is the scoop of how this reactor work.
In essence what this reactor is doing is regulsting the humidity inside the reactor through the media.
Reactor has 2 air inlets and 1 outlet
The outlet connect to the skimmer loke any other co2 scrubber reactor
The 2 inlets ports are where the reactor will get air from.
Reactor constantly measure the humidity (RH) of the air at each port and inside the reactor
-Remember, the goal is keep certain humidity inside the reactor-
Their vision is that one inlet port bring room air, the 2nd inlet port is dropped near the water in the sump.
Normally room air inlet is enabled, of humidity inside the reactor dropped, the reactor switch to the humid inlet port (near the water) and bring up the humidity inside the reactor to the target level, then switch back to the regular room air port
There can be diffrent implemntation here based on the reefer need.
Example: if you want to ise the akimmer cup recirculating method, you drop the humid inlet inside the skimmer cup, and the room air inlet outside the cup. In this example the reactoe will use the skimmer cup air only to bring humidity to the right level then switch to regular air.
Finally, the product also monitor the co2 inside snd outside the reactor. But not actions is being taken based on the co2 level, its just monitor snd report for the user.
They claim, that if the co2 scrubner media maintained proper humidity, its effeceny snd life is much better than running it dry. Which I agree on that.
So the value prob here is: maintain humidity level of the media to improve its performance and life..
I personslly think there was a huge missed oppurtunity here, they are measuring co2 level already, i wish they made some sort of bypass where if co2 level is low, they paypass the media to prolong the media life.
The price point of this reactor is not bad in my op, it will be between $250 to 350$ depend on the options you add(you can add more sensors to the reactor)
I was bit disappointed that co2 is not being used to a control function.
I will still get one just to try it and for the value of controlled humidity. But I doubt it will have big follwoing USA. They have certain conditilns in Japan and Singapore where humidity vary over the year that such reactor make sense to them..at least that's what they explained..
