Co2 Leak - can’t find leak

[CivicS14]

Hey All,

I am sure I have a Co2 leak but I can’t find where it’s leaking. I put soap at all the thread and connection points and not a single bubble!

Any other suggestions? Going thru a 5lb bottle every month is getting ridiculous.

Set up is:
-Carbon Doser Reactor
-Vertex Calcium Reactor
-PH at 6.65

Any input?

Check the regulator?

 

[CivicS14]

Yeah. I put soap all around the regulator at every crevice I can find and no bubble either. I assume it would at least show a leak from there, right?

Could be a bad regulator. Is your bubble count good?

 

[CivicS14]

Trying the pressure test now and going to see in a few hours if it drops or not.

I don’t know why I didn’t think about it before but I pried open the black box on the carbon doser and bubble tested the connection points. Sure enough, where the co2 feeds to the solenoid! It was really loose. But to be safe, I stuck some teflon tape on it and tightened it back up and no more leak!
