Milwaukee regulator or user issue?
I have a milwaukee regulator on my co2 tank for my calcium reactor. I set the regulator to 10 psi. 12 hrs later it crept up to 30 psi..... I purged the pressure out and set it again to 10psi this morning just now checked it and its crept up to around 35psi? i was under the impression when you set the regulator to a specific psi it is saposed to hold that? Can someone shoot me some tips or info? Cant figure out if its me doing something wrong or if the regulator is bad or what.
Thank you |

As the internals heat up the pressure will change. I have used that regulator and find it requires a lot of adjusting to get it where you want it.
They seem to be prone to failure as well.

When I was running my calc reactor, I started with a Milwaukee regulator and could not keep it in tune. I switched to an electronic regulator and it solved all regulator issues.
