Co2

okay so its time for me to start scouting for everything i need for pressurized Co2. any advice on the cheapest but reliable way to get everything? and what will it about cost me

 

@Ryno

@Sean J was selling complete kits a few months ago. You could buy the regulator, solenoid and needle valve as a complete unit for under R1000.00 if I remember correctly. Sean also had a few new bottle available, as well as other optional extra's that you should be using, but not everyone does. Like CO2 tubing, bubble counters, diffusers and drop checkers. I know Sean is only selling the ADA and Tropica through other retail outlets, but give him a shout, he may be able to help with the CO2 stuff.

I bought the CO2 regulator from him a few months ago, and I must say I love it. The needle valve takes a while to trim correctly, but once it's going at a good rate, I found it to be very stable.

@Altum also has some Milwaukee stuff available that he was marketing a few weeks ago, also at a very good price.

I was also pleasantly surprized to see that @Lanzo from Dory Pets carried a range of CO2 stuff at the expo... so I would assume he carries it as regular stock in his shop.


All three options I have listed above are well priced and good quality stuff. I've seen some horrific prices on regulators in some of the local stores here in Roodepoort.

 

Thanx @Zoom. i checked regulators and seen some going for 1500-2000 rand and lillypipes and bubble counters also in the range of 700 each
