I've just started using a JBL C02 kit for the past few days and have come across a problem with either the bubble counter filling completely with water or completely emptying.
An extra stop valve has been bought, and both are working fine when I blow through them in one direction. I have a stop valve between the soloided electric valve and the bubble counter, the other is between the bubble counter and reactor.
I understand this doesn't really effect the injection of C02 but I'm worried this water could siophon back into the canister, even though two stop valves are being used. There doesn't appear to be any leaks.
Oh, and a quick question on mesuring the C02, I've used 4dkh water within the drop checker and is displaying a lime green. Although when I compare with liquid checks and a chart (6.5ph, 4kh) its showing too much C02 is being injected. Is it still safe to rely on the drop checker only even though the comparison chart is showing too much?
