water in the co2 line

[danski]

well i just changed the mixture and installed a check valve on each line and noticed water in the line. is it suppoed to be there or will it work its way out. what exactly is the process when refilling the co2 canister for a new batch? do i just unscrew the top and remove it for a new batch? thanks

what I do is unscrew the top and if I can I take the lid apart from the tube so I can give the lid a wash too (but sometimes I'm not strong enough to pull it off). Make sure you leave the tube somewhere ABOVE the water so you dont end up spewing the contents of your tank on the floor.

If the water goes up the tube, I blow it out as much as I can...so that the water in the tube is basically in line with the water in the tank. Then the gas will push the water out so that you will have co2 bubbles in your tank!
