Hello,
I've finally unboxed my Aquamas CO2 Starter kit. The in line reactor is the business - really excellent - but I'm having some issues with the regulator. I connected up the regulator and the solenoid and turned on the gas at the cylinder. The flask is full at 70bar, so that's good. The regulator pressure is at 4 bar - well into the red zone marked "pressure too high". If plug in my solenoid I hear a reassuring "click" but when I open the needle valve nothing comes out.
I would like to remove the solenoid, tighten everything and try without but its not going to be easy to break the seal with the cylinder if I can't depressurise the system first. In any case I suspect either I'm missing something obvious or I have a faulty regulator?
Photo below, to remove any confusion. So what to do? I'm leaving the country tomorrow and when I return I was planning to have all my plants in my luggage, so this had better work!
Thank you,
Ray
