I have purchased regulators from 2 different sources, my local homebew guy and an online supplier. One has a turning lever to increase and decrease the pressure, the other needs to be turned with a screw driver.
The problem is this: on both regulators the turning mechanism has become HOPELESSLY LOCKED. It starts slowly, with it becoming kinda hard to turn and it progressively gets tighter and tighter until it simply will no longer turn.
Another brewing friend had a similiar problem with one he got from the same homebrew guy.
Neither supplier will replace their units.
Has anyone else had this problem? Am I missing a simple trick to keep these
things operating properly?
