Double Bottle System
Since the larger sensor is carrying the bulk of the CO2 enrichment it is hooked up to the larger (50lb) bottle. To maintain about 1000ppm this bottle needs to be changed about once every 7-9 days depending on the weather.
The smaller bottle (20lb) is attached to the small sensor and is used to help maintain 400ppm in the structure at all times. This is also weather dependent on usage but typically it will last 10-12 days.
Both have the same regulator and are chained to the scaffolding structure. The door is right next to them to allow changes to be as easy as possible. The plywood they are sitting on also help move the old one out and the new one in. The clear umbrella allows for continual regulator monitoring and water protection from the misting system.
