Properties
- Pump
- Laing DDC, mounted directly
- Capacity
- approx. 100 ml
- Tube
- Borosilicate glass, 50 mm outer diameter, 5 mm wall thickness
- Base and top
- Delrin
Borosilicate glass tube
Every aqualis series reservoir is equipped with a borosilicate glass tube. In contrast to the acrylic glass (Plexiglas) commonly used for the tubes of an expansion tank, Aquacomputer says borosilicate glass has a very high hardness and scratch resistance. It also has excellent chemical and thermal resistance and a very low thermal expansion. Bases and covers are made from Delrin, and lid and base are connected by a stainless steel rod.
Mounted on the DDC pump
The aqualis DDC 100/150 ml variants are designed for direct mounting of a Laing DDC pump at the base part. Four rubber decouplers (art. no. 41092, the Ultra Soft Pump Decoupling Kit) fit into the rear of the base part. Alternatively, the two mounting protrusions of the pump body hold pump and reservoir in the case.
Of the pump, only the housing with the electronic components, the impeller and the gasket are needed, so its four-screw top section comes off. The gasket goes into the groove of the housing, the motor into the pump receptacle, and the M4 x 16 mm screws secure it, hand-tight. Return line and suction line both go to the threads in the base.
Nano coating
All 100 ml and 150 ml versions are also available with a nano coating, allowing water to pearl off the inside of the glass tube. In this size, the version which has it is the Aqualis DDC 100 mL Reservoir with nano coating (34076). The Aqualis DDC 150 mL Reservoir (34077) is the larger size.
