Bubble Counter Question

[kashifg]

I just picked up all my bits from AE, to get my FE CO2 setup.
There is no sign on the bubble counter, to say what is the inlet/outlet. This bubble counter has an inbuilt check valve, and im not sure which side is which. here's a pic:

i was hoping to connect this all up in the morning...please help!

See how the bubble counter has the little nipple looking thing on one side on the inside? That should be the inlet.

the nipple on the inside goes on the bottom so you can count the bubbles as they rise to the top.

Thanks guys.
Does it matter if I place the bubble counter next to the reg, or outside the tank?

it can go where ever you like, i like to keep mine out of the way.

Thanks mate, now to connect it all up

I have it all setup but i have a problem with the regulator.

I have the TMC Pro reg. The cylinder pressure has just over 50 on it but the working pressure does not go above 0. When i turned it on for the first time, i ensured the needle valve was all the way in, but i had a rush of bubbles on the bubble counter, then this slowed down. Now i dont get anything on this, regardless of how much i turn the needle valve in or out. the solenoid light is on, but no response from the regulator working pressure, and hence nothing coming out of my atomiser (easy aqua super mist).

Any ideas on if im doing anything wrong, or is the regulator knackered?

give your diffuser time, they can take a while to kick in. What BAR have you got it set on? It needs at least 2 bar.

 

[kashifg]

thats what i am saying. no matter how much i turn the needle valve, it doesnt go above 0 i.e. the working pressure.

Can you get a pic of the reg?

 

[kashifg]

Sure:

Any suggestions if my regulator is at fault or not please?

Do you see any bubbles going through the bubble counter? Sometimes those needles dont always work.

 

[kashifg]

When I started it for the first time there was, but now nothing.

Sounds as though the pressure need upping on the reg and I'm not sure you can do that with the tmc regs.
