    Hi, I have been using this co2 tank for 6-7 months already and it has yet to deplete. I set it to 1-2bps for my tank. And there is still bubbles coming in the bubble counter. And my drop checker is green color too.

    This should mean its still working right? My co2 tank if I'm not wrong is the 5kg NA co2 tank. Is this normal as it is the big co2 tank and I'm only using 1-2bps?

    Thanks for any help

    My 2L Co2 tank lasted almost 11+ months running 1bps at 8 hours daily.... so your 5L Co2 tank would most definitely last alot longer with similar settings.

    the pressure meter will show 1000+ psi as long as there is liquid CO2 in your cylinder. when all liquid CO2 is used up, the pressure will start to decrease.
