Problem with Co2 Regulator

[manny110]

I was wondering if anyone can help me with my Co2 Regulator. I have a Milwaulkee unit for my Calcium reactor and it just starting to give me problems. I first started to notice that there was no co2 flow and 1st though it was the check valve but I bypassed it and still no flow. When I turn up the needle valve I get flow but then it gradually slows down and eventually stops. I have a full bottle and I replaced all hoses and cleaned the PH probe but still no flow.

I have a Milwaukee too and had the same problem about a year ago. I unplugged and re-plugged in the solenoid. Then I opened up the valve all the way and slowly closed it again to original bubble count position.....been working fine ever since.

Thanks for the reply but I did try that several time and no help. I guess I have to buy a new regulator. Can anyone recommend a different brand to use?

Ok well I spoke to Bryan and he told me to remove the bubble counter, open the needle valve all the way and take a very small drill bit and drill out the hole were the bubbles come out of and then it should work. Well I did it and so far so good. Thanks again Eric!!!
