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?
