It is new. Just came Monday from Drs Smith and Foster. Where would the check valve be installed? I am not very technical and Ds S&F's tech support is not very good.

Thanks

Brilliant

Check valve is little plastic thing with two ends on it for connection to air tubing. It stops the air/water from moving one way. You can lightly blow through it to see which way it works. Its supposed to stop the water from coming out of the tank. So install it between bubble counter and in tank reactor stopping the water/allowing the co2 in.

I also had a problem with my new Red Sea CO2 systems bubble counter leaking. I contacted the company and they sent me out a new one, that one also leaked, but not as bad. So I contacted them again, and they said they had gotten other complaints, and the whole batch of bubble counters are bad. They are apparently made in Israel, and he said it would be awhile before they get in any that arent bad...I would email them since your product is still under warranty, so you have it documented, and have them send you a new one...for the time being, I installed an extra check valve (along with the one that is already supposedly installed in the bubble counter) and the problem has subsided.
PS...Red sea was very quick to contact me back, and within a week I had my replacement parts.

Thanks ImHooked. I did install a check valve and it was doing ok. Came home from work and it is leaking again. Did you contact Red sea directly or the place you purchased it from(got mine from Drs Foster and Smith)? I contacted their technical support and they are supposed to send a whole new unit. I told them it was the bubble counter so I guess I will contact them again.
