Anyone Speak German?

[lisa_perry75]

Saw this link recommended for Co2 all in one kit and wondered what does it come with, whats the quality of it, is all the stuff useful, will I need anything else, how good is it (if osmeone else has got it), how much was postage (not listed) and is it possible to post pressurised air through countries.
Thanks!!! oh, the link.


Btw I did try babel translation but it was very unreadable and not very helpfull.

type in your search pane

altavista+babelfish

This will bring up a site that will translate from many languages to English (and vice versa if you want to chat to foreigners. he he)

Sorry didn't read your thread properly. It is reasonably good for proper translation but not for technical names.

I don't speak German but from the pics I can say it has:
Dual gauge regulator with needle valve already screwed in
Internal Reactor/diffusor
Non return valve
Solenoid valve
500g cannister
CO2 hose (different from the silicon airline hose which is slightly porous)

Its a good seller and a lot of people use them. My needle valve and solenoid are from this seller and same as in the pics.

Postage is 20 euros I think so about £13.50

No idea about how they are allowed. maybe because they are a proper company and have licences. who knows.

Thanks!!! Yeah I wasn't just being 100% lazy, luckily I knew about the babel thing... Its just so hard to figure out whats what using the translation I hoped someone else would know for definate.

It seems cheap for pressurized Co2... I'm very wary something crucial is missing or it is no good... I've become very pessimisstic (sp lol) since meeting the internet.

I do speak German.
This kit will be delivered together with all installation and usage manuals, but knowing the Germans, you should ask whether you can get one in English. Guarantee for 2 years, and it will be delivered with an official invoice.

They also explain the different characteristics for each of the elements of the kit, but I assume you don't need to know all that, do you?

The kit contains the following elements: Pressiure regulator with needle valve, special CO2 hose, non return valve, glass ceramic diffuser, a nd a magnet valve which allows you to use a timer to stop dosing automatically at night, this valve is connected to the CO2 cannister. According to them this magnet does not produce any noise, and because of the low wattage ensures that the cannister will only get lukewarm.

HOpe this is of any use.

I bought a kit like that from them and it's the dogs nuts , no complaints at all.

I used Babelfish for translation and got the gist of it before purchasing.

Also, I started my German lessons last night funny enough Loads of fun learning it, but that has nothing to do with this thread, just wanted to tell someone that's all

Good luck with it

nothing sensible to add except
shouldn't the title of this thread be can anyone read German?

speaking and reading a language are two different animals
I speak some Japanese but can't read a single word of it

I wouldn't connect solenoid valve into the regulator as suggested.

I would leave the needle valve screwed into the regulator as it is in the picture then connect 1 inch of hose from the needle valve to the solenoid and then the remaining hose out to your stop valve, bubble counter and diffusor.

This is what we mean when we say connect the solenoid inline. Although I don't use mine anymore (it was the same as this one) they do get hot and just using the hose to seperate it from the regulator means that it won't transfer much heat through the metal of the regulator to the cannister. Its also easier to remove it if you choose.

If you choose the other method it means unscrewing the needle valve then screwing in the solenoid valve then screwing the needle valve back into the solenoid making it one fixed piece where the heat will spread through the whole unit (and also means you are relying on more seals that you are unjoining and then rejoining meaning a higher risk of one becoming 'unsealed' when there's no reason really to tamper with it.
