Golden Angel Solenoid: Max at 0.2BPS

[Biofeedback]

I bought a golden angel solenoid. Could achieve 1.5bps first day but only can achieve 1 bubble per 5 secs on the second day no matter how much i turn the knob.

Tried switching on and off. Sometimes will have strong burst of bubbles for 1 second and then go back to 1bp5s after that.

WHY??

It could be either the solenoid is faulty, or your needle valve has some sort of blockage. OR.. you have a leak somewhere.

When the solenoid is turned on, do you hear a click sound? If yes then the solenoid is not faulty.

I'm using the same brand. No issues. So probably solenoid faulty. Bring back to shop to check?

If co2 can still go through, no matter how slowly, the fault is not with the solenoid.
Check your main tap / valve, is it opened?
Check for blockage at the needle valve.

Brought it down to NA and found that it was ok.
Then bought another check valve, seems ok after i changed, but need to see what happens today.
Possible that tank in empty? How to tell?

brother biofeeback,
can you check the gauge if it is too low?

[tawauboy]

what's your pressure gauge/s showing?
if one shows 1000+ psi, you'll still have liquid co2 in your cylinder.

Thanks for all your suggestions. I found the culprit already: its the check valve. I changed it and it everything is ok
