I know this has been discussed in other forums but I want to hear some opinion from those on this forum who has experience with them.
I am currently using a CO2 regulator I got from a brewery and Clippard needle valve.
I am also using DIY inline co2 reactor now
I'm trying to get my CO2 to its max...and by doing so, I need to shut off the CO2 at nights...
getting a solenoid valve will cost me a lot...almost half or 3/4 of a CO2 setup price...so I might as well go with a CO2 setup since it comes with an additional bubble counter.
Milwaukee or JBJ?
the only disadvantage with Milwaukee is there is no check valve...with my inline reactor, once pressure goes off...the water will for sure travel along the CO2 line.
even with a plastic check valve i have at the moment, the water is still able to get pass the check valve...about 1 drop of water/5sec
so the check valve on the JBJ will be safer(that is if it actually works better than my plastic check valve)
but I have been hearing a lot of bad things about the JBJ setup as well...about regulator not fitting well..or needle valve isn't consistent...
your opinion?
Thanks.
