just open the main valve, the 1st gauge should show around 1000 psi and the 2nd gauge should show around 40-50 psi. The second gauge is your working pressure which need to be above 46 psi.
Hi guys
I just resurrected an old dennerle CO2 tank and solenoid from my storeroom. It was used by my dad some 10 years ago.
I've sent it for servicing and I would like to ask how to check if a co2 system is capable of handling the pressure required for an up inline atomizer which I checked requires 46psi.
Thank you

I see. Is it widely prevalent for tanks/solenoids to have about 46psi? Wondering if I should purchase the atomizer first
Not really, normally range from 20psi to 50 psi. My no brand Taiwan regulator show 25psi, my JBJ regulator show 50psi and my UP regulator show 45psi.
Different regulator have different working pressure depend on the manufacturer.
I see. That's a pity. Thus if mine is of a lower psi, I will be more or less left with using a diffuser as from my understanding, reactors require higher psi. Is that correct? Thanks! (:
no, reactor does not require high psi. Only atomizer (either inline or not) require higher psi
Oh I see.
Diffuser
The glass apparatus with a ceramic piece at the end of the hose.
Reactor.
A cylindrical container which blends the gas with the water. Either at the end of the hose or inline to canister
Atomizer
An upgraded form of the reactor which is capable of a more thorough diffusion of the gas in the water. Normally inline
Is the above a correct grasp of all these equipment? Normally guides and reviews talk about the usage and benefits but not the exact difference between them =/
Atomizer is just a name for diffuser which can generate very tiny co2 bubble. It come with 2 models, one that look like diffuser mean need to put inside the tank and the other one look like reactor which need to be put inline with the filter in/out let.
My bad! I thought regulators were interchangeable inline or intank. Thanks for clarifying (:
you mean reactor? that is correct some reactor design was suppose to be place inside tank.
Oh ok. So diffuser is always in tank, reactor either way. Diffuser is through ceramic plate, reactor mixes. And atomizer is a more refined variation of both, and has both intank or inline options. Would this be a proper summary? Thanks
Yes correct.
