    Yellow circle - needle valve. adjust till desired flow rate

    Red circle - Output pressure gauge. shows the pressure after regulator (not important)

    Green circle - Input pressure gauge. Shows pressure of tank. Value will drop when tank is emptying.

    Pink circle - Main valve. Open only when regulator is securely installed.
    Cheers!!

    Thanks Sherwin!

    btw, the Input pressure guage shows zero... is the tank empty???.... or do i need to turn on the solenoid to see the pressure?

    can give some advice as to how to adjust the bubble rate??

    ohhhh.. i may be mistaken on the input and output gauge... can't see the values clearly..... the input gauge has a very big reading while the output gauge shows very small values.
    Cheers!!

    Learner...welcome aboard [] ..well..first thing...did you open the main valve..the big black one on the top of the cylinder...never open = no gas come out..LOL..if that is open fully and your gauges still show zero...you need to top up brother....One more thing...the solenoid need to engage before the gas can be let out.
