Milwaukee CO2 Regulator

[Joe Reefer]

So I am having trouble keeping my bubble rate steady. I just got the tank refilled this weekend, I have tried uping the pressure to 20psi but the bpm just slow down to nothing. What should I do? any sugestions?

Is your needle valve okay, could it be working its way closed over time?

[Joe Reefer]

Over time? Within a couples hours from setting it, its almost stopped.

On second thought anyone know of a guage, regulator, bubble counter combo thats a little more quality than a milwaukee brand? TIA

I've found the 3 components J&L sells are very good. Mine has been running for 4 years without a hick up

Solenoid
Dual Guage Reg
Needle Valve

I suspect mine has been doing the exact same thing. I'm going to replace the needle valve on mine (not sure if you can do that on the milwaukee reg combos).

the milwaukee combo sucks. Replace the needle valve if you can. There is a "fix" on OA's website and it will fix most people's units. If not, replace the needle valve.
Don't bring the valve pressure up to 20. Keep it low like around 5 psi. seemed to work better for me but I also had replaced the needle valve already so I can't say definitely.

Lando,

If you decide to get a new needle valve let me know, I'll direct you to a place here in Edmonton where they are about $2.
