So I just built my first dual stage regulator to replace my Azoo regulator. I run 3 aquariums off it.
The order is regulator -> clippard check valve right after solenoid output -> 3 way brass manifold splitting to 3 fabco valves -> bubble counters -> then to Kynar check valves right before the reactor inputs.
in the morning, my tubes from the reactor check valves all the way to to just before the manifold are full of water. Takes a while for the system to purge the water and get going in the morning, even running at 35psi.
So my question is, I have 3 more clippard valves on order, where should I place them? Reactor input or off the manifold? When I changed out the fittings on the manifold there were a few drops of water that came out of the manifold, which probably isn't a good thing.
Cheers and thanks
