Milwaukee CO2 Regulator
So I am having trouble keeping my bubble rate steady. I just got the tank refilled this weekend, I have tried uping the pressure to 20psi but the bpm just slow down to nothing. What should I do? any sugestions?

Is your needle valve okay, could it be working its way closed over time?

Over time? Within a couples hours from setting it, its almost stopped.

I've found the 3 components J&L sells are very good. Mine has been running for 4 years without a hick up

the milwaukee combo sucks. Replace the needle valve if you can. There is a "fix" on OA's website and it will fix most people's units. If not, replace the needle valve.
Don't bring the valve pressure up to 20. Keep it low like around 5 psi. seemed to work better for me but I also had replaced the needle valve already so I can't say definitely.

Lando,
If you decide to get a new needle valve let me know, I'll direct you to a place here in Edmonton where they are about $2.
