CO2 Reg recommendations?
 

I need to replace my reg, looking for suggestions on decent units. My current (I believe) Milwaukee reg has corroded quite well over the last couple years. Anything better?

Best in the world (as stated on their website)

Never used it but when I was researching the one above kept getting good reviews ($300 reg better be good).

Thanks Tyler, but that might be a bit overkill. I just need a reg, not a controller built in :)

Ya I just bought a Milwaukee too

I have gotten fed up with normal regulators going out of whack. They could not maintain a constant bubble count. I first got one of the aquariumplants regulators on one of my plant tanks. Now I have 2 of them on plant tanks and one on my calcium reactor. When you look at all the costs involved they are not expensive.

Well, ya, they kind of are :) Mine is worth maybe $100, so I can buy 3 of mine which will last probably 10 years. A lot of what you're paying for is the controller portion, which I don''t need, not lot good value for me.

... and chances are, if you remove the controller from the $300 fancy regulator, the regulator hardware itself is likely made by Milwaukee.... but you did say you were looking for something 'better'...

Thought I heard people not liking Milwaukee, so just wondering what others are using that's comparable. I don't mind getting another if it's rated well

Or JL has a higher priced no name reactor

Just guessing & maybe a welder or other professional that deals with high pressure gas can chime in, but I wouldn't be at all surprised these things are fairly generic, like some refrigerators or washer/dryers. Only several actual manufactures producing them & rebranding/naming for the various companies that distribute them. Brass, guages, springs & valves should pretty well sum up the internals of most regulators. In any case, never a bad idea to hear what folks' experience has been with various brand names & the support for their product.
