    How long will your 5L CO2 tank last after pressure dropped to 100 PSI. Presuming you are like me pumping 2 bubble per second 10 hours daily. Mine last me more than 3 weeks and still going strong, although it is showing 25 PSI at the low side gauge and 0 PSI at the high side gauge. Wondering when can I take it out and replace it with my spare refilled tank.

    i once had a 5-litre co2 tank running at 3-4 bps for 10 hours daily. after 6 months still have co2 left.

    5 litres is a lot, to me.

    Hi Bro,

    What I mean is if the CO2 pressure shows 100 PSI (not 1000 PSI), how long will the tank last ?

    It depends. I had mine on 100 psi for 2weeks plus until I got a bit freaked out so I went to replace the co2 inside

    Ok just changed out the spare tank, it last me for almost 4 weeks after dropping to 100 psi. During the time where I do not have spare C02 tank, I just rush out for refill once the pressure dropped to 100 psi. Thinking about it, wasted so much CO2.

    Mine drop till about approx 50 psi from last 2 week, it still able to provide CO2 to my tank at 3bps for 8 hours daily. I bet it will last at least another 3 week.
