that thing is cool
It looks like it is working exactly as designed according to their instructions. I suspect it just doesn't hold as much pressure as you'd like.

I have 3 of them, a very finicky piece of equipment... where they get you is the seals wear out fast. I use mine now for kegging, I put 2 gallons in and bottle the rest. I let it age about 2 weeks in the beer machine(put about 10 coopers carb drops in for priming) I put it in the fridge for about a week and presto. uses 8 gram soda chargers. expect to use about 3 CO2 cartridges for a 2 gallon batch.
