Hi!
I have a typical c02 regular. It is this one:
http://www.homebrewstuff.com/co2-regulator-dual-gauge-heavy-duty-pro-series.html
My issue is that when its all hooked up the rig isn't working according to the controls. I'll describe this as a step-by-step.
1) Everyone is hooked up but gas from the tank is off and the adjustment to the line is also all the way out to the negative (off)
2) I turn the tank to open which flows gas into the regulator.
3) The high pressure gauge starts to show the pressure of the tank.
4) At this point I would expect the low pressure gauge to show nothing since the adjustment is to off, however it begins to show the needle go up and around until it hits the 70psi mark. It is as though I have the line set to full pressure but the line pressure is still in the off position.
I'm trying to figure out if the whole regulator is garbage now? Its a $50 object when bought new so is it worth trying to figure this out? I went to the local c02 distributor with my rig today but its a holiday weekend and the were closed. Go figure.
