So indeed, I would probably have had to measure it in series to have noticed (although I'm not sure how I would do that without...

Very disheartening.

I am curious how compensation would work on something like this. Even they did pay something, how does that work towards recovery? Is it better to leave this to nature to...

Thanks for the follow up, actually I did figure out what was wrong and it was the adapter after all.

What threw me off at first was that the multimeter showed it was still outputting 24v, so I...

Western Pump (locally) sells RO membranes and prefilters. I wonder if they have DI as well, might be worth a look.

Great pictures. Man it's been, I guess, a decade since I've been to Maui. I remember the MOC as being small but really well done.

Were you able to do any diving or at least head out on a snorkel...

If my CO2 switches off the pH in my reactor will creep up pretty quickly, not instantly mind you, but certainly noticeable (and sort of linear). Maybe 20-30 minutes to go fro 6.6. to 7ish and...

That's interesting, thanks, I'll check the temperature of the solenoid when I'm home from work.

Mine seems to be settling out at 6.5 now although I was sort of hoping to target 6.6. If you ran...

Got a link for a 1/4" valve? I'm currently using this one (http://www.jlaquatics.com/needle-valve-for-co2-regulator.html) (which seems to have good customer feedback, but is 1/8" not 1/4")

Solenoid cycles on CO2 to reactor: how often is too often?

When I ran a reactor about a decade ago, I set it up to run without a CO2 controller. It took a lot of trial and error, but eventually I got things to settle on about a 6.7 pH in the reactor with a...
