    Warning! Fake Dual Stage Regulators!

    Don't get me wrong, I'm happy to be proved wrong here. I'll contact my friend to ask if he still has it or any photos, but given it was a couple of years ago, I suspect not. I bought my system from co2 supermarket more than 2 years ago which is in my son's room, and for my second system for the...

    Warning! Fake Dual Stage Regulators!

    Ok, to clear something up, I do not or have not worked for any retailer. I've bought products from pretty much every retailers there is, and I'll give credit to co2 art, they are a good company and provide good service, and I don't mean to take that away from them. Fair point, no I don't have...

    Warning! Fake Dual Stage Regulators!

    I was previously discussing with co2 art whether or not one of their 'dual stage' regulators was a fake dual stage, but they blocked me - maybe I was getting too close to the truth, I dunno. The full discussion can be read here...

    Warning! Fake Dual Stage Regulators!

    That is good to hear. I'm sorry, but you can't just make a design tweak to a single stage regulator and then label it dual stage. So as this thread was about 'Fake Dual Stage Regulators' being sold, and I think it's apparent that actually yours are single stage (albeit with a modification)...

    Warning! Fake Dual Stage Regulators!

    But it's NOT dual stage. Perhaps you found a way to make single stage work without experiencing EOTD, but that DOESN'T make it dual stage. For it to be dual stage it must have certain characteristics and components, which it doesn't have. It may well be a mutation of single stage, but dual...

    Warning! Fake Dual Stage Regulators!

    Oh, okay then, let's just ignore the diagram that you supplied, and that my friend took it to an oil and gas engineer (who designs regulators and valves for a job for 30 years) who confirmed it was single stage. So there is evidence to prove it, but you've just said you're going to continue to...

    Warning! Fake Dual Stage Regulators!

    I trust that you will now be taking them off sale, or moving them to 'single stage' category to avoid misleading any more people?

    Warning! Fake Dual Stage Regulators!

    Ha, yeh, I can understand why you'd want me to go away, your negative PR campaign is no longer working as you'd intended. I understand the concept of single / dual stage very well, and your design is single stage. My friend took it to an oil and gas engineer and they confirmed as such. But...

    Warning! Fake Dual Stage Regulators!

    We'll not go through it again... because....? Because why? Because you know you're still selling single stage as dual stage? I found the thread where you posted the diagram, it's on plantedtank.net So if this is dual stage, where are the two gas chambers that are needed to equalise the...

    Warning! Fake Dual Stage Regulators!

    We both know there have been quite a few posts about your dual stage regulators, primarily the question of whether or not they are genuine dual stage. I remember there were at least two or three reports of EOTD using your dual stage regulators because one of them was my friend who lost almost...

    Warning! Fake Dual Stage Regulators!

    I seem to remember a while back there being questions being asked about whether your 'dual stage' regulators were in fact 'fake' due to reports of EOTD. You supplied a photo/diagram which did actually confirm it was only single stage as there was only one pressure chamber inside the regulator...

    EOTD / Dual Stage Regulators - The Great Myth

    Nice first post, Martin. Welcome to the forum. I see you’re sponsor now too, so thanks for supporting the community here. As Nathaniel said, people will just recommend whoever they’ve bought from and received good service from. It’s nothing personal against you, so don’t get disheartened or...

    EOTD / Dual Stage Regulators - The Great Myth

    I'm sure both CO2 Art and CO2 Supermarket provide equally good customer service, I'm not debating that. All I'm saying is from numerous dealings with CO2 Supermarket throughout the years their customer service is also top-notch, and I also cannot recommend them highly enough and would rate them...

    EOTD / Dual Stage Regulators - The Great Myth

    Weird, I've never had any problems with working pressure with an inline atomizer or bazooka atomizer either - I want more bubbles per sec I open the needle valve and voila, I get more CO2 going in. Obviously there is a relationship between flow and pressure, but I don't understand how pressure...

    EOTD / Dual Stage Regulators - The Great Myth

    I read a lot on here and very rarely post. I'd like to, it's just I just rarely get time. There seems to be more and more threads on here relating to End of Tank Dump (EoTD) and the need for dual stage regulators and I just thought I'd share my experience with a single stage regulator from CO2...

    Co2 supermarket reg and inline diffusers?

    Not really Big Clown, a leak can come from anywhere - badly fitted tubing, to not tightening on a nut properly. That's not the Chinese manufacturing's fault, it'd happen regardless. Agreed, there's a lot of tat out there and maybe you've had bad experience yourself so it's justified for your...

    Co2 supermarket reg and inline diffusers?

    I've used one from them for a couple of years and not had any problems.

    co2 supermarket mixer reactor set

    I experienced the same issue as Murf while using the mixer diffuser - it did deaden the flow. I guess it's bound to. But I didn't want to stop using it because it does work very well - I have no CO2 escaping at all, it all gets absorbed, so I added a small powerhead to the tank to bring the...

    Sodastream as a backup

    Hey guys, new to the forum and saw this and thought I could help. I use a SS bottle on my heavily planted, high surface agitation 150l tank and the bottle last me 4 months at bubble rate of 1 BpS, drop checker is always green. Not had any problems with leaks - just gotta make sure it's...
