hi everyone.
i got a good deal on a used korallin 1502 reactor recently. i have everything set up already to my tank. my output rate for the effluent is now at 40 drops/minute as per the instructions. the problem is everytime i try to start my co2 (meaning turning on the main valve), the regulator shows that the tank pressure is 1000 psi, but the working pressure is at 95 psi!!!! it would go back to zero a few minutes after i close the main valve of the tank. i have a jbj regulator w/ solenoid and have tried moving the needle valve both ways and it shows the same level. obviously when i tried to connect it to the reactor, the pump just popped out of its connections probably from too much pressure going in. is there any way to check if my regulator is broken? is there anything im doing wrong? thanks in advance.
