Hi Nathan
My understanding is that they read the pH of your tank water and then turn off the CO2 when it reached the desired level.

I think they simply turn a solanoid on or off depending on what reading the probe gets for the ph. When the solanoid is turned on it opens the gate for the co2 to be released.

I think thats how it works, but I am sure someone will correct me if I am worng.
