i'm sure that the problem was water getting into the valve and seleniod. i cue tipped it out, put it back together with out the milwaukie bubble counter, then i built a new inline bubble counter out of acrylic and mounted it above the sump no chance of water now since my sump is elevated. i use a small pump to feed but for the most part the water is fed into the reactor by gravity 1/2" going into reactor on the floor and 1/4" return uses the weight of the water and the preasure of the gas to return to the sump, there just isn't enough head height force to get up to the counter.
Of course i could have just raised the CO2 tank up instead but that would be too easy.... besides who wants to look at a tank and use up valuable shelf space at the same time.
hope this helps.
