UP Atomizer leak???

[danmullan]

I've just updated my journal...

I tested the atomiser for leaks with soapy water, couldn't see any leaks so I put the CO2 on for the next day so I could test it in water when I got home from work. Guess what I found. An empty CO2 bottle so wherever the leak is coming from it seems to be getting worse.

I just hope that it's not my reg.

dan, what working pressure are you running your reg at ? does anyone think its possible back pressure from the inline device forcing co2 out of the pressure release valve on the jbl reg ?

not sure, still haven't had time to check... a job for next weekend.

My UP Atomizer also makes a hissing sound when its working. Its completely normal. Your CO2 is leaking from elsewhere. Fill a syringe with dish soap + water and squirt it slowly along all the joints to check them. Plumbers PTFE tape is safe to use on these joints to tighten them and make them leak proof
