same here. i think i will take off that bubble counter soon coz i am using one regulator for two tanks. i need to find two needle valves asap and maybe manifold.aquoi said:I use the JBJ counter which screws onto the regulator (San Yuo).

same here... i need at least one bubble counter. :wink:aquoi said:I'll be getting a 2-way needle valve for my 2nd tank soon + 1 more counter.
I have an extra $1 check valve above the counter. I just like the clarity and looks of the JBJ counter. I had a normal plastic counter but I don't like how it dangles.PeterGwee said:I really don't like the design of the bubble cum check valve. The dangers involve is simply too great for me. Imagine the check valve failing? Your needle valve and regulator would go kaput...too expensive.
Sir_BlackhOle said:Just get any cheap check valve from your LFS. Tetra makes a good one and its only a couple dollars I believe.
thanks guys... i really appreciated!!!aquoi said:Yeh get a check valve before your solenoid gets screwed.
Kevin,Sir_BlackhOle said:It should only allow flow one way, so if you hook it up and are getting co2 bubbles then I would say its installed correctly. As for letting water back through it, that shouldnt happen. Maybe you got a defective one? Does it happen on all three of them or just the one? I dont know but maybe you should try it inline after your needle valve, before your diffuser.
