I would like to know whether or not a check valve is really needed when using a Milwaukee all in one pressurized system. Should there be one between the regulator and the tank/diffuser? I was told yes by a few people, so I purchased one and now I have to crank the system even higher in order to get sufficient CO2 into my tank. Now I've just been told that I do not need one as the bubble counter will keep the back flow from ruining the regulator.
Do other's use a check valve?
I am have so much trouble with my Milwaukee all in one needle valve holding a decent bubble count. This has been going on for 2 months now, no wonder I can't get rid of my algae and stabilize my tank. In order for me to get 30 ppms of CO2, I have to crank it to where there's at least 10 bubbles per second even more, and the psi is at 25-30.
I'm so frustrated! I could see if I had a lot of time to fool around with this system but I do not, I purchased it so it would save me a lot of time. I need to be able to depend on the system to turn on when the lights do and run at a decent rate, but it seems I can't. Some nights I come home from work to see one bubble here and there in my ladder. Sorry, now I'm venting.
Please, advise on the check valve would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
