    Yes, if it is after 10-15 minutes of deactivating the solenoid; no, if you still have co2 feeding to your tank after 30 minutes or more.

    Once solenoid cuts off, just take note of your bubble counter, if you've set it to 1bps, it should drop to below that and stop after 20mins. However since there is pressure, co2 will still mildly be diffused through the ceramic disk.

    Hi all,
    Happy new Year!!!
    Another query. If i have shut down the solenoid, then i relise the bubble counter still show gas coming out from the value for quiet some time.
    I am using abt 3 bubble per second , but after shutting down, it still last 3 bubble per second. Last time when i close i will hear a loud pound sound but now very light.
    Is there any adjustment i have to do with the solenoid.
