Tried 2 different ISTA co2 reactors now and both were not cutting it. First was an external turbo reactor. Product is good at chopping up the co2 so you dont get bubbles. Down side for me was I use 16/22mm hose and the product is 12/16 mm inlet/outlet. Bought 2 reducers. Return pump hose 16/22 into reducer 16-12mm, into reactor, out of reactor then enlarger from 12-16mm hose and back to DT. After a few weeks I realised my flow rate was less than half what it was without the reactor.
Then bought an ISTA inline reactor which was 16/22mm fittings. Didnt chop the co2 up at all and reduced the flow rate even more than the previous reactor.
I've had it with ebay and these crap reactors so now i've ordered all the parts I need to make a custom reactor. The parts arrive at the end of the week and i will post pics of how it turns out and steps to make it with parts list if it works out well.
Just wondering if anyone else has had experience with reactors and what you thought of them, good and bad points.
