Sulphur Denitrator

[tomowilson]

Hi all, just installed a sulphur denitrator for 4 days, is it normal for the sulphur denitrator to register a higher nitrate reading(20ppm) than the main tank(15ppm) before it is fully established? Running at 1 drop per 3 sec.

All i know is running sulphur denitrators will cause the PH to dip so u need to check PH regularly and buff it back up. As for more nitrate being unhe denitrator i dont see any harm as long as the nitrate lvl in ur main tank is dropping.

your output of your denitrator should be ZERO to claim that it is "Functional"..otherwise, how can your main tank NO3 to get low?

IMO, If it is non-zero..then I suggest you should let your denitrator to "KICK-IN" before proceeding...Wait for a 2-3 day..do the measurement again.

no problem..just follow the procedure.

1.)Let the start feeding the unit till it start dripping then shut the output for 1~3 days..and stop feeding water to unit

(pls ensure your unit do not "back-siphon" to your sump)

2) after 1~3 days...start the unit and adjust drip-rate at 1 drop per sec... after 1~3 minutes..measure your NO3..it should be zero..

3) otherwise repeat step (1)..

Cheers.
