The Delta is the cheapest Dupla system with a little ceramic diffuser
outlet for the CO2 rather than a reactor.

No comments apart from the obvious that they are concerned about
asphyxiation whilst people sleep.

The directions are pretty scanty in the manual anyway. Basically they say
the following (modified to accommodate the lack of diagrams here):
- close both valves - the big one on the top of the CO2 bottle and the
small one on the brass fitting;
- open the big one on the bottle by a half turn;
- open the valve of the fitting. Watch the bubbles in the bottom of the
diffuser and adjsut to approx 20 bubbles a minute. Note that the number
of bubbles takes some time to change so allow a few minutes between
adjustments to wait and see what happens when you're setting the rate.
What they don't say is that you will need to play around with the flow
rate to suit your needs - the 20 bubbles a minute is a starting figure.
Use the CO2 indicator that comes with the set to get the flow rate right.
