Extra Information:
1. The bottle have to use carbonated beverage bottle, do not use pulpy, green tea, mineral water bottles, etc.
2. Trimming valves regulation avoid by sudden big or small, do not suddenly turn up, after immediately shut down again, so as not to cause abnormal pressure to the bottle.
3. Make sure carefully observe the direction of the parts before assembly. The usual wrong handle way will cause abnormal reacts ion components as follow: the contrary direction of the check valves and fine-tuning in the direct.

The DIY CO2 Kit enables two different configurations:
DIY CO2 System Using Sugar / Yeast
The DIY CO2 Kit provides an excellent method of deploying the sugar/yeast solution to generate CO2. Simply mix your sugar and yeast solution in the bottles, screw the caps on the bottles and you have instant CO2.
One additional benefit is the ability to stagger your bottles, so every 10 days or so (or when you see the pressure dropping on the pressure gauge) one of the bottle solutions is changed for fresh mixture, in another 10 days the other bottle is refreshed. This staggering levels out the peaks and troughs that you normally get at the start and end of the cycle.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR DIY CO2 USING SUGAR AND YEAST
Add 1/2 teaspoon of yeast into a bottle
Add 2 Cups Sugar
Fill bottle with luke warm water to 3/4 of the bottle
Add cap to the bottle
Shake well
Repeat for second bottle.
Change 1 bottle every 10 days.
DIY CO2 System Using Citric Acid / Baking Soda
Another popular method of generating DIY CO2 is to use a citric acid (or vinegar) and baking soda (aka bicarbonate of soda, aka sodium bicarbonate).
The pressure in the bottles will want to form an equilibrium because they are connected by tubing. So when the pressure is higher in bottle A than in bottle B gas will want to flow from A to B. A consequence of this is that citric acid is injected into bottle B when the pressure in bottle A becomes higher than that in bottle B, which in turn creates more CO2. This additional gas is pushed into bottle A (as well as your diffuser), again making an equilibrium but in reverse to before. When the pressure in B falls below A, citric acid is again pushed from A to B, and so the cycle continues. It's an ingenious system!
INSTRUCTIONS FOR DIY CO2 USING BAKING SODA AND CITRIC ACID
2 x 2L Plastic Bottles, e.g. Coke or Sprite.
Bottle A
200g Citric Acid Powder.
Mix with 600ml Water until dissolved.
Bottle B
200g Baking Soda
Mix with 200ml Water until dissolved.
To start, citric acid or vinegar is poured into bottle A, and a mixture of baking soda and water is poured in bottle B. The caps with tubing attached are the screwed onto the bottles.
The needle valve is opened, and bottle A is squeezed slightly to inject Citric Acid in to bottle B. This starts the generating of CO2. The needle vale is then closed to allow pressure to build in the bottles.
Mix bottle B by swirling the mixture around - you should see some bubbling. If not, squeeze some more citric acid from bottle A.
When the pressure gauge reads 1.5 bar in bottle A you can slowly open the needle valve to begin the flow of CO2 to your diffuser.
