    Hi anyone seen this type of co2 mixer before?
    Is it a good mixer compare to the NA reactor or other type of reactor?




    Need some of your comments. Thanks!

    It looks like an efficient mixer to me.

    Care to tell me how much it cost and where to buy it?

    I saw some holes on the green pipe, the shorter one, that may be use to make turbulance, mix the CO2.

    That rainbar is use to create a tonado in the container to mix with the co2 then push out from another tube. This is what i guess.

    Robert,

    There is only 1 hole. Not holes like a rainbar.

    there are 2 bars inside the container, 1 is a rainbar for inlet and the other is a normal bar for outlet.

    It could take 12/16mm hose only. I am using 16/22mm hose thus I never get it.

    IMHO, the functions is the same as the ISTA CO2 mixer. The smaller tube is actually a mini rainbar (if you look closely). The flow is powered by the output of your filter, resulting in a mini whirlpool thus mixing the elements as CO2 is being injected. Whereas this whirlpool effect is caused by the propellers in the ISTA unit.

    I'm really curious of the end results. Please do share your findings if you're using them.
