Bubble counter leaking through built in check valve

Hi all

I've got a CO2Art bubble counter which is attached to a 2way splitter as shown in photo. The water is leaking out the bottom where it screws onto the splitter (I have an o-ring fitted), so I assume it is leaking through the built in check valve. No gas has been put through the bubble counter yet. I have unscrewed it and left it sitting for a while and it has only lost a drop or two...?

I was thinking about using PTFE tape, but if water is leaking through the check valve then it could get to solenoid and reg.

I do have a couple of SMC check valves like in photo below but I cant use them with these bubble counters without an adapter. If it turns out the check valves in the counters are unreliable, I might have to get the right adapters to enable me to fit these between splitter and bubble counter.

Anybody experienced similar problems?

Those bubble counter check valves are unreliable.. I've had a few failures from ebay bubble counters but never a leak as you describe. At least with this issue, you can see it. My issues were invisible and required elimination of each part as the problem..
