Fluval Mini Pressurized Co2 20G Kit

[Tizer]

Do you still have 50 bars of pressure on the primary gauge? If not the canister might be empty. This happened to me with the one i got from eBay. Wont be doing that again! it still pumped out Co2, but like you i had to fiddle with the needle valve.

I think the secondary gauge is set to 1.7.

My solenoid kicks in at about 3pm in the afternoon, CO2 doesnt start bubbling out for about 3/5 minutes, its not instant which you might expect.

Same again tonight. The thing is as soon as i adjust the small valve for the outlet not the main one it start to go. bloody wierd this.

As i test i set it to do 2bps just before then unplugged it for 30 mins. Turned it back on and i was only getting 1bps, ARRRGHHHH !!!

Any ideas LP
