Using secondary regulators

[Joe17]

I am thinking of using secondary to dispense soda water at a higher pressure. I have a dual regulator to dispense at two different pressures. I am dispensing beer around 10 psi with one and I use the other for carbonation and any other co2 needs. I really don't want to have 3 regulators hanging on one co2 tank. so I want to use 2 secondary regulators, one for beer and one for soda water and use one of the regulators I already have to feed them. So what I am asking is will the standard regulator I already have provided enough pressure to make the secondary regulators work properly?

Should be able to do this. Typically the primary needs to be set just 5 psi above the highest secondary regulator setting, so if you're running 30 psi for soda the primary reg would be set to a minimum of 35 psi.

iirc Taprite secondaries support up to 60 psi input and if that's typical of secondary regs you will have plenty of headroom...

Cheers!

[edit] For clarity, the primary setting is a relative minimum to the secondary bank - it can be set higher than just 5 psi above the highest secondary setting if desired...

Thanks that helps a lot.
