View Full Version : Good Co2 Regulator

I currently have a Blue Line Co2 Regulator but have not been able to
get a steady bubble count and I find I'm constantly tweaking it and
never getting good results.
What is a good dual gauge Co2 Regulator to look at? I would like one
that's obvoiusly dual gauged as I mentioned but as well would like one
that has a bubble counter check valve, solenoid, and a needle valve.
Are there any others that have all of these or should I buy some of
them separately?

the best thing is to set your regulator for a constant 15psi and then get a
'good' percision needle valve for the adjustments to the bubble count.
the blue line is one of the better regulators and should work fine at this
range.

is a nice price for regulator/gugue/needle valve/solenoid valve/bubble counter
while its another $90 and you already have one, you can also get the needle/solenoid
valves seperately
a good needle valve is a requirement to getting a good flow, also dont rely on the tank
side pressure gauge, its not reliable.
