    Hi everyone,

    Just wanna check if it is ok to bring my cylinder for top up if the needle pointer is near zero? or do i have to wait till it cease to produce CO2 before bringing it for top up?

    Thanks!

    You don't have to wait until the CO2 runs out. Just go topup when you have the time and the tank is running low.

    sometimes...if its at zero..might not really be accurate.wat i suggest is that if u realise one day that u are turning more of the valve for the co2 to come out,then its abt time.strongly recommend top up at bioplast.

    Typically, I will not want the CO2 to run out during weekdays which I have no time to go top up. So as long as the CO2 is low, I'll go top up during weekends.

    it is better to top up when c02 tank pressure starts to drop. there are reported case of co2 dump when pressure drop below 300-500psi. when this happen, your tank will experience co2 overdose.
    co2 dump occurs due to insufficient pressure difference to maintain pressure regulation. however, if you have a needle valve, this may not happen as the needle valve will control the flow rate.
