The bubble rate from my regulator is very inconsistent. If I have it under 1 bubble per second, it would eventually slow down to a stop. So I would have to loosen the needle valve even more, only to have it come to a stop again. When the timer turns the regulator off, and then on again the next day, the rate would be very high. If I don't slow it down, it would continue on with this rate through out the day. But if I slowed it down to a desired rate, it would slow to a stop again.
So my points: high rate = constant flow; low rate (desired) = slows down to a stop. What can be done to correct this problem?
My cylinder is full, regulator gauges register at 50 and 2 when on (the black readings). I don't use a pH controller, and the regulator runs on my timer.
I'm using a DIY reactor that works very much like a vortex reactor. Could that possibly cause inconsistent rate? Temperature?
Your help is very much appreciated.
