Recently my Korralin Calcium reactor is acting very strange. I will set the bubble rate to 1 bubble every 5 seconds and over the course of a few hours the bubble rate drops off to the point where no bubbles are produced at all. I have the regulator set at 20 psi and I have water going to the reactor via a pump that is t'eed off. The drip count always stays the same.
BTW, I don't know if it helps but I took the reactor apart the other day to clean it out and I took apart the brass check valve thing in between the co2 tank and the reactor and cleaned that out too. Maybe i put the check valve on wrong?
Please Help! Thanks!

Who makes the regulator? Was the reactor doing this prior to you cleaning it?

Milwaukee regulator, It was not doing this prior to cleaning it.

My Milwaukee does this too...it is maddening. Cleaning it is only a short term solution. Look for a better regulator such as the reef fanatics one.
