Hi
Just want to share a modification I did to de-gas the NA type reactor.
I always have gas build-up after a few hours and will not reduce even if I use a strong filter.
I deviced a slight modification to de-gas the build up.
Please see the attached pic.
I used the pnuematic air hose and secured it to the water inlet inside the reactor using cable tie.
I adjusted the height to the maximum amount of gas that I want to have.
I routed the other end to the water outlet of the reactor.
Excess gas will purged once in a while as the air build up to the de-gas tube level.
Assuming that it is not CO2 I guess it served my purpose.
I do have less BBA issues now.
Hopefully it will be useful to anyone with similar problems.
Cheers

Baton courtesy.....service with a smile!
A simple method is to just turn the reactor upside down to clear the gas. No need to do any modification.
