Professional Plant Aquarium CO2 Regulator with DC Solenoid Valve and Integrated Bubble Counter

Technical Specifications: Product Basic Information

Understanding the technical DNA of your equipment is essential. Our regulator is built using industrial-grade materials to withstand high pressure while maintaining a sleek, modern aesthetic.

Why Choose DICI Valve?

When comparing aquarium CO2 regulators, the difference lies in the stability of the output and the longevity of the components. Here is why the DICI 866 stands as a market leader:

2.1 Precision Micro-Adjustment Needle Valve

The core of our system is the high-precision needle valve. While standard valves suffer from "pressure creep," the DICI valve allows for granular control. You can achieve bubble counts as slow as 1 bubble every 10 seconds for nano tanks, or high-volume delivery for large 500L displays, without the setting drifting over time.

2.2 Silent 12V DC Solenoid Valve

Traditional AC solenoids often produce a persistent "buzzing" sound and generate significant heat, which can degrade internal O-rings. Our 12V DC Solenoid is whisper-silent and operates at a much lower temperature. It is designed to be connected to a timer or pH controller, allowing for automated CO2 cycles (e.g., turning on 1 hour before lights-on and off 1 hour before lights-off).

2.3 Dual-Gauge Monitoring System

Safety and transparency are paramount. The Dual-Gauge system provides real-time data:

High-Pressure Gauge (0-3000 PSI): Monitors the remaining gas inside your CO2 cylinder, so you never run out unexpectedly.

Low-Pressure Gauge (0-100 PSI): Monitors the working pressure sent to the diffuser. Stable working pressure prevents the "End-of-Tank Dump" phenomenon that can kill fish.

2.4 2-in-1 Integrated Bubble Counter & Check Valve

Space-saving and efficient. The integrated aluminum bubble counter allows you to visually monitor your flow rate. The built-in check valve prevents aquarium water from back-siphoning into the regulator's internal electronics, eliminating the risk of corrosion.

Versatility for Every Tank

The DICI 866 CO2 Regulator is a versatile powerhouse suitable for multiple aquatic applications:

High-Tech Aquascaping: Essential for growing demanding plants like Hemianthus Callitrichoides (HC Cuba), Glossostigma, and red plant varieties that require high CO2 saturation.

Dutch Style Aquariums: Provides the heavy CO2 demand needed for dense, fast-growing plant bushes.

Iwagumi Layouts: Ensures stable pH levels to maintain the clarity and health of the minimalist rock-and-carpet setups.

Marine Calcium Reactors: Its precise, low-volume output makes it an excellent choice for feeding CO2 into calcium reactors in reef aquariums to maintain alkalinity.

Nano Tanks: The ultra-fine needle valve makes it safe for small tanks (under 10 gallons) where overdose risks are highest.

Boosting Photosynthetic Efficiency

Why invest in a professional CO2 system? Aquatic plants rely on dissolved CO2 for photosynthesis. In nature, CO2 is constantly replenished. In a closed aquarium, plants quickly deplete the natural CO2, stalling growth and allowing opportunistic algae to take over.

By using the DICI 866 Regulator, you are providing a consistent source of carbon. When paired with high-quality LED lighting, your plants will exhibit "pearling" (the visible release of oxygen bubbles), a sign of peak health and optimal growth speed.

About DICI Valve

Choosing DICI Valve means choosing a Decade of Engineering Excellence. We are not just a supplier; we are a dedicated manufacturer specializing in fluid control systems for the aquatic industry.

Our Quality Commitment:

Rigorous Testing: Every DICI 866 regulator undergoes a 72-hour high-pressure leak test and a solenoid endurance test before it is packaged.

Material Integrity: We use high-density aluminum alloy and CNC precision machining to ensure every thread is perfect.

Global Compliance: Our products are CE, RoHS, and FCC certified, meeting the safety standards of North America, Europe, and the Asia-Pacific region.

OEM/ODM Capabilities: We provide customized solutions for global brands, offering private labeling and bespoke technical adjustments for large-scale distributors.

To ensure the longest lifespan for your aquarium CO2 equipment, follow these expert steps:

Mounting: Hand-tighten the regulator to your cylinder, then use a wrench to give it an extra 1/4 turn for a gas-tight seal.

Bubble Counter: Fill the counter 2/3 full with water or specialized CO2 oil.

Timers: Plug the solenoid into your light timer. Plants do not utilize CO2 at night, so turning it off saves gas and keeps your fish safe.

Leak Check: After installation, spray a small amount of soapy water on the connections. If bubbles form, re-tighten the fittings.

Q: Does the solenoid make a clicking or humming sound? A: No. Our 12V DC technology is designed for home environments and is completely silent during operation.

Q: Can I use this with a pH Controller? A: Absolutely. The solenoid is fully compatible with all standard pH controllers to automate your CO2 based on real-time pH readings.

Q: What is the warranty period? A: All DICI regulators come with a 12-month manufacturer warranty covering any mechanical or electronic defects.

Q: Will this fit my local CO2 tank? A: We provide all major regional thread standards (CGA320 for US/Canada, W21.8 for UK/EU, G5/8 for AU/Asia). Please select the correct version at checkout.
