my bubble counter keeps blowing off my needle valve.
i have a up inline diffuser which,tbh i`m losing confidence with..after reading several accounts of cracks and leaks.
when i disconnect the bubble counter from the diffuser and run co2 it`s fine.
i thought the diffuser may be blocked,so i cleaned it out and reasembled,but still no good.
for the time being,i have ran a length of air line from the top of the bubble counter and attached the other end directly under the filter inlet.
i put a check valve in as near to the top of the tank as possible and the bubble counter also has a built in check valve...so the solenoid should be protected.
i`ve blanked off the old co2 tubing(still attached to the diffuser) with a valve,so fingers crossed it does`nt leak.
can anyone see a problem with what i`ve done?
it`s a bit of a bodge at the minute,but if it works i`ll tidy it all up when possible.
