Bubbles! (Please Close Thread)

[HerrGideon]

i've got a persistent problem with my co2 tank.
i turn on the co2 in the morning with 1bps, and then later in the day discover that the bubble counter has stopped..bubbling. how do i ensure that the bubble rate remains constant?

You may want to consider installing a needle valve which can better control the air flow.

needle valve?
what's the diff. between a normal valve and a needle one?

giddygid,

You may not have turn on fully for your CO2 output valve. So, if you only turn on slightly, chances is that the compressed CO2 will rush out initially but once the pressure gets stablized, it may not have enough pressure to release more CO2.

Coz I have experience this too when I try to turn my valve a little, adjust my needle valve and see bubbles in my CO2 counters, I stopped and feel satisfied. But hours later, the CO2 releases stop. Only after I release more CO2, the bubbles starts releasing.

I would suggest you invest on a electronic solenoid where you need not have to manually turn the valve on and off. Let the timer do it for you.

Bro, the first thing to do is to describe to us your c02 setup. A picture will be even better. Only then can we help you out properly.
