As the title says, this is my Inverted CO2 Reactor build. I'm hoping to combine two very good reactor designs, those being the Cerges reactor and the Rex reactor, to make a better one, although I can't be certain until I build it and use it for a while.
Unlike most, if not all, other reactors I've seen, the water/CO2 enters from the top through a series or elbow and exits from from the top or bottom through more elbow. The main complaint I have seen with most reactors is the loss of flow. I'm hoping my design will maintain full flow, because there is almost zero head pressure and only one modified tee in the reactor to create turbulence.
Since it's hard to explain what I am going I have put together a video explaining the design and the parts.

Although I would have loved to use clear PVC to build this reactor, I was not able to find any in Canada, and to order from FlexPVC would have cost about $120 for just the 24” clear PVC. My entire build, with grey schedule 40, is $130. For people in the US, all this can be ordered from FlexPVC for about under $100 or a little more if you want clear PVC.
