Frequently Asked Questions
1. Can I use the UNS Micro Regulator Kit with a standard 5LB CGA320 CO2 cylinder?
No. The UNS Micro Regulator is designed specifically for 95g UNS Disposable CO2 Cartridge. For full-size CGA320 cylinders, we recommend using UNS Mini Dual Stage Regulator or UNS Pro Dual Stage Regulator.
2. Does the solenoid require a separate timer to automate daily dosing?
Yes. The electronic solenoid plugs into any standard wall outlet or smart plug timer, allowing you to synchronize your CO2 output with your photoperiod.
3. Is a check valve required with this setup?
The included UNS Micro Bubble Counter features a built-in check valve to prevent back siphoning, though adding an inline check valve near your diffuser is always recommended for extra safety.
