Co2 scrubber

Whoa. 7.5 pH. Probe might be off? That’s really low.

Yes, I recently replaced the probe as it was 5 years old.

Damn that looks clean. Yeah I would be single if I do that lol

It looks clean until there is 10+ tubings running out of it...then it looks super ghetto. But at that point, it was too late to go back to no hole. LOL.

Haha. All good bro. But u get that pH bump from outside air and it’s all worth it haha

My scrubber seemed like it helped raise mine from 7.9 to 8.1 consistently. I work from home so I find that with windows closed and I'm home my average pH is lower but when I go out the whole day and leave a window open, my pH can reach as high as 8.3. I'm the problem.

Any holes is better than no holes LOL

That’s not bad compared to this. LOL. I can’t even fit any more tubing through the hole anymore. It’s pretty ghetto, but I try to make it as clean as I can.

My outside hole goes directly into my shed so it essentially sealed off front the outside. How do you keep your hole sealed fron the inside?

 

[Jimbo327]

Well, it's not really sealed. I do add some insulation padding into the hole from both the inside and outside, and 95% of the hole is already used up by the tubing going through it now.

That’s pretty good - come over and do mine? I might need to run my chiller outside this summer.

Knowing the actual co2 in the room helps as well. There are monitors that actually log the daily level, but they're a little pricey compared to the "monitor only" ones.

First time around I was getting critters through my hole. Ants and flies. During the summer I would get these crazy "swarms" of flies that would get into the house particularly when the house AC was on and we were cooking. I think the food smell would permeate through the hole then when the AC kicked on it created a bit of negative pressure in the house basically sucked them in. For my new shed I sealed the gap between the shed and house wall and weather stripped the doors so you can't see any light coming through any cracks. Idea is to get it ant proof too.
