C02 Problem

[moneymike]

I have had my c02 at 4bpm, but noticed that in recent weeks, I need to turn the 'bubble rate adjuster' more each day to get the c02 to flow 4bpm.

Has anyone else had this experience? Do I need new c02 tubing?

Also, it seems the gas has lasted much longer than before. I use a solenoid, synched with the light timer.

just the preasure in the cylinder, give the reg seal a good wipe when you next move it over

OK, thanks. It's funny, the thin shows it having a working pressure of 1.

that could be your problem, mine runs at a working preasure of 2 and a tank preasure of 54.

if its adjustable try turning it up to 2 or you'll have to trouble shoot for leaks.

how old is your tubing and are you using CO2 resistant tubing?

I have to refill it now. There must have been a problem somewhere. My tubing is 6 months old or so, and I found out that part of it wasn't Co2 resistant, so I am replacing it now.

Thanks for the troubleshooting!
