Solenoid Problem

[-=Joel=-]

Hiya,

The problem being every time it goes off via the timer it when its time to come back on it wont

The only way to get it back up and running is to unscrew the co2 tubing to realize what seems to be trapped air and reconnect.

Any help greatfully received.

What sort of timer are you using, mechanical or digital?

Might be worth trying a digital timer, i had issues with my Ph contoller and solenoid when i used a mechanical timer, i cant remember the reason why the mechanical timer would not work, but there was a logical explanation, anyway, the answer was to switch to a digital timer, since the switch ages ago i have had no problems. So it might be worth a try, although dont blame me if you buy one and it doesnt work, just passing on my experience, i picked one up cheap enough for about €10 (about £7.50) although i had to shop around as i remember some places wanted €25, but it was basically the same problem, the solenoid would not kick in at the alloted time on the timer.
