Titan Controls® CO2 Regulator

Regularly rotate your CO₂ tanks through an AUTHORIZED CO₂ tank refiller. This will insure that the tank has been properly inspected and thoroughly tested for safety. Cracked tanks and broken valves can be dangerous due to the high pressure that is in the tank.

When servicing the CO₂ Regulator, make sure the pressure gauge on the regulator has completely depressurized before unscrewing the large outer clear plastic tube from the CO₂ regulator.

You can do a few things to fix this problem. First, make sure that your CO₂ tank is in an area that is 60° + . Second, reduce the flow coming out of the regulator to about half, then increase timing pattern to compensate for reduced gas flow into your grow area. Finally, we make a CO₂ Heater (Item # 702715) that warms the CO₂ stream as it comes out of the tank and avoids freezing your CO₂ Regulator.

We recommend that you set your flow rate at 10 SFCH (Standard Cubic Feet per Hour). This flow level accommodates most gardens. Adjust as necessary for your specific plant requirements.

The CO₂ Regulator has an accuracy level of +/- 2.5%.

The CO₂ regulator draws .04 amps - 4.2 watts when in operation.

The washers are to be placed between the output of the CO₂ tank and the input of the CO₂ Regulator to avoid gas leaks from the connection. If you don't have any washers, they may be found at most welding or gas appliance retail stores. You may also purchase spare ones from your local Hydro Dealer, just ask for item number: 702712.

The easiest way is to attach your CO₂ Regulator to the tank and open the tank nozzle to allow gas to flow into CO₂ Regulator. DO NOT plug the 120 V Solenoid cord set into power source. Now, using a spray bottle with mild soap solution, spray all connections on the CO₂ Regulator. If you see bubbles form, this is where the CO₂ is leaking from. Tighten up any connections to seal the CO₂ Regulator or call our Technical Service line for more assistance.

CO₂ tanks are filled by weight. Your 20 lb. tank has a tare weight on it (stamped into top of CO₂ tank), so the Vendor puts it on a scale and subtracts the tare weight, then fills it with 20 pounds of CO₂ liquid. For a 50 lb. tank, they would fill it with 50 pounds of CO₂ liquid minus the CO₂ tank tare weight. If you want to know how much gas you have left in your CO₂ tank, just put it on a scale, subtract the tare weight of the tank and this will give you your CO₂ gas weight left in the tank. For instance, if you have a 20 lb. tank with 10 pounds left in it, you have half a tank left. 5 pounds left, quarter tank, etc.

This is normally due to having your CO₂ tank in a cold location. The pressure in the tank is constant after filling and has nothing to do with the liquid in the tank. The CO₂ pressure is reduced in cold areas below 65° F. The pressure is what is released from the liquid in the tank and should be constant throughout the application of the CO₂ gas. The normal remedy to this problem is to put your tank in an area that is above 65° F . You should see the pressure needle rise and be in the Green area of your CO₂ Regulator dial.

The pre-set operating pressure of the CO₂ Regulator is 0 - 3BAR.

The safety pressure release setting is approximately 6BAR.

The tolerance band is +/-2.5%.
