Howdy, I'v just made myself a DIY c02 reactor of the guide for the affordable reactor off this forum, using the spray bottle as the generator, i have my mixture brewing and am using a 40 watt light to keep it warm, its bubbling away into my coke bottle at about 2 bubbles every 5 seconds, but it doesnt seem to have enough pressure to go past the check valve into my reactor, its been going a couple of days now and still doesn't seem to have moved any water past the check valve for the gas to get into the reactor. i dont think there is any leeks everything seems air tight, does anyone know how long it takes to get enough pressure happening?

Cheers

Jesse

I think you will might have a leak somewhere. It only took my system a few hours to be effectively pumping CO2 into my tank. Maybe check everything again just to be sure.
