c02art Pro SE series tank pressure

[Fluxtor]

Hi all, so I've been running a 3kg bottle on my 60l tank for about 3 months now. When I initially set it up the high pressure gauge was around the 700ish mark but i've just noticed it's dropped to just above the red 500 mark. Is this an indication that it's running out? How low should the pressure in the tank be allowed to go before I get a refill?

The picture shows the pressure now. As said it's a 3kg bottle and I've been running at about 1 bubble a second for 6 hours per day for not 3 months yet and I was expecting it to last longer.

As said it's a 5kg bottle and I've been running at about 1 bubble a second for 6 hours per day for not 3 months yet and I was expecting it to last longer.

I would have expected 5kgs to last at least a year on a 60l especially only running 1 bps for 6 hours a day. I'm sure you will have checked your joints with soapy water?

I have a 186L tank with the same regulator and in tank diffuser, 3kg bottles last me probably 3 months at most at uncountable BPS on for 9 hours a day. You probably have a week left but I usually will swap it once the working pressure starts going down.

Definitely got a leak somewhere, a bigish one too.
I had numerous issues with my co2art reg.
Check the bolts coming directly out of the main body, check the dials, around the solenoid, bubble counters and ensure you are using the gasket to seal between the bottle and reg.
Full soapy water spray onto the reg and you will see the culprit.

Thanks I'll try the soapy water to check for leaks and apologies for type in OP. It's 3kg not a 5kg, I've corrected!

My 5kg lasts me less than 3m but I have 2 diffusers at around 8bps each. Check and double check the reg and least you know for sure.. possible the bottle wasn't 100% full I suppose. Good luck 👍
