Please help to check my co2 set up if it's correct

[imbaputian]

Hi there, I'm quite new into this hobby and got a second hand 2L co2 tank with solenoid that came with a bubble counter and check valve and atomizer. I not sure where went wrong. I turn the red knob and it's like the co2 leak out just under the red knob. But after trying awhile and it works. Is there suppose to have water inside the check valve? And is the pressure to high? I not sure what's the proper thing.

Hello there! Sorry could not really understand what you were saying.
Leak:
Is there a gushing sound of Co2 when you open the valve? To check where the co2 is leaking, slobber soapy water over all exposed parts of the Regular and see which parts produce bubbles. If the leak is at the joint where you connect the Regulator to the Canister, you can use white tape to air lock it. However if it is anywhere else just throw your regulator away and buy a new, branded one that won't screw up on you that easily.

Check Valve:
Theoretically there should not be any water in the check valve as it signals a backflow. However due to the saturation of cheap chinese products in the market, it is ok unless the water flows into your regulator which is dangerous. If in doubt buy a new one.

Cheers!

Hi! I not sure how to say but I have a video but can't post cos it's too big. Now it's working fine. I'm not sure why. And is my pressure too high?

pressure is normal, tank pressure is around 1000psi if below 1000 that mean tank is empty. Your working pressure is around 35psi which is good. Use soap bubble to check for leak, just apply soap bubble around the join. Try to avoid applying on the solenoid (electrical part).

Your check valve is not the high end type, so water in there I would say normal.

Thanks for helping me to check ! If let's say there's any leak on the area I circled, I guess I need to totally change a new tank?

Yeah. That means your canister valve is faulty.

Is there any way to just change to part or total replacement ?

Depends on manufacture but from my experience most of these canisters have in built modules so you have to change the whole thing....

can change the main valve, I change mine before cost me $25. C328 help me to change.
