CO2 Regulator Issue

[Squirrely Dan]

I recently got a co op CO2 regulator and I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.

I have the regulator hooked up to a freshly filled 5lb CO2 cylinder.

I get everything set perfect so it's running at about 2 bubbles per second, and a few hours later, I check it and the CO2 quits flowing all together.

The right gauge still reads about 750psi, and the left gauge slowly goes from 35psi to zero after a few hours. Then no more CO2 will flow, no matter how far I turn the regulator knob in.

I had that same issue occur with a regulator I bought.  The retailer mentioned it was a problem they had seen with their newly offered regulator and offered me a free replacement.

 

since this regulator had already been replaced under warranty as the original one had a different fault, I opted for a  refund and spent more money on a different regulator with a 10 year warranty.

 

I would contact the retailer about this fault.

Double checking that you have the solenoid still plugged in. I assume you do, but incase you don't, co2 only flows when the solenoid has power. Shoot us an email shipping@aquariumcoop.com and we can trouble shoot a bit more and send out another if we don't identify what the problem is.

Thanks Cory! I will send an email.
