CALRX CO2 leak

[ReefHunter006]

Could anyone help me troubleshoot my carbon doser?

I contacted aquarium plants.com and they were very rube and unhelpful.

I turn the co2 tank on and the turn it off. The high pressure gauge then depressurizes over the next 30mins from 2000psi to 1000psi and then all the way to 0 over the next couple hours.

I have sprayed the device with soapy water and cannot find any leaks.

I am really disappointed with this device. The owner is particularly abrasive and I’m not sure why I just asked for help troubleshoot I didn’t request a refund.

You might try adding a co2 washer/gasket even though the Carbon doser has an oring. Mine was leaking just like you described and the employees at AirGas helped me solve my issue by adding the washer.

Is there a specific kind or just any? Does it go i. Top of the old o ring or do you remove it the old and add the new

It's a nylon washer. I left the oring and put the washer on top of the oring.

I had the same problem with my Carbon Doser after eight years. The O ring can where out. You can buy them on Amazon. Search for CO2 Tank Leak Stopper. All you need is the correct sized Allen wrench.
