Well, it does get more out of the misting and keeps it running full time when the reactor is on.

The good thing is that it's less wasteful than the internal method.
Some collection and coalescence occurs in the sealed chamber as well as recirculation to a much greater extent than the internal design.

You can also set the desired levels of recirculation to increase or reduce the misting by adjusting the valve on the venturi loop. You can also place the venturi inlet hole higher or lower depending on your goal.

I'll bring this unit to the Local SAPS club meeting this Nov to show folks how to make it and so they can see it up close up and touch it etc.


This is the entire reactor:


This is the option to use the lower venturi intake:



This is the option to use the top venturi intake method at about 1" depth for the gas collection bublle vs 3" in the above example:



Missing from pics are the venturi ends are a ball valve irrigation drip to control the flow and also to turn off the Gas and seal the end when not in use.

Note: you can modify the AM 1000 and the Dupla reactors by making a venturi loop to the powerhead or pump driving the flow through.

For 10-15$, it's hard to beat this product and design.
This is good to about 180 gallon or so with 400-500gph.
