co2 regulator?

[mgdmirage]

So past week I’ve been having issues with my calcium reactor. It isn’t producing any co2 but reads 1100psi on left gauge and 25psi on other but no matter how far I open needle valve no bubbles will come out. Does this sound like a bad solenoid? I plug it in and it clicks like normal but still no luck. It is a Milwaukee regulator which I will never get again

If I were out of co2 the left gauge wouldn’t have any pressure would it? I bought the tank a few months ago from a local guy and he said it was full but never used.

It could be dirty and sticking. Sometimes you get dirty CO2 and it gums things up. I have had to take my solenoid apart a few times on mine over the years. Have you tried turning the adjusting knob or screw on the low pressure side ian and out to see if possibly the gauge is bad? That also happens sometimes. I will say the couple of times i contacted Milwaukee about issues with either the regulator or pH controller their Customer Support was excellent and they even did a follow up cal la few days later to check on things, I was pleasantly surprised by that service.

FWIW my milwaukee regulator has been working flawlessly for almost eight years. Other than that I'd say the AZDesertRat has given some solid advice.
