seems mine is not shutting off all the way now.i heard it leaking into my bubble counter this morning and when i looked i could see gas getting past my off solenoid valve.do i need some kind of special valve or can i just purchase a new valve?dan

A solenoid valve is an easily replaceable component and should offer a standard connection type. Have a look on eBay and you'll find one.

I have read that you need to make sure you are using a CO2 solenoid and not just a standard solenoid as the CO2 can corrode the internals of non-CO2 fittings. Don't know if this is a fact but someone else might be able to assist.
