When I shut off my regulator for the evening it doesn't shut off the stream of bubbles, is it a problem with the regulator?
 
What are you shutting off? The needle valve, the cylinder valve, or the main regulator valve?
 
I have the whole regulator attached to a 6-in-1 that has a little switch that I just turn on and off so I don't have to bend over
 
I don't understand what you mean by a switch. Is it an electronic solenoid?
 
Oh yes! It is an electric solenoid plugged into my wall, I apologize for lack of detail!
 
If you turn the solenoid off, and the flow of co2 doesn't stop within 3-5 minutes or so, it is malfunctioning.
 
Yeah, whenever my CO2 turns off, the bubbles don't actually stop flowing from the diffuser until around 5 minutes or so because it still has some CO2 in the line from when you turned off the solenoid
 
I've tinkered with it a bit, seems the 6-in-1 isn't stopping the power when I turn the switch off, it's working now....gotta invest In a timer soon!
