Hi all,
After posting a while back about the seal inside my D-D regulator splitting, then using (as suggested by someone here) some rubber o-rings to seal it again, it's turning out to be very unreliable. I went to change the bottle today and I just could not get the seal to hold, so basically it is seemingly useless.
D-D said they'd never been asked for the seal before and did not have any to sell either.
I'm going to have one more try to 'make' a new seal from some spare filter tubing - the original seal is a rather solid plasticy-rubber and certainly not a soft rubber like the o-rings.
If this all goes pear-shaped, can anyone suggest the cheapest method to get it all up and running again? At the moment I'm dosing EasyCarbo until I can get the CO2 back in again. I'll admit to wondering if I would be as well to stick with EasyCarbo and ditch the CO2 to see what happens? I have the solenoid and pressure gauge from the D-D kit so I'd not need these, just the bit that connects to the CO2 bottle itself.
