Ok. So now that i'm ready. My carbon doser not pushing co2 to the bubble counter. It can detect the pressure from the tank, the lights are still working and respond to how many seconds per bubble count accurately but theres no clicking sound that im hearing before. I evenset the psi to the highest no. and still no co2 going to the reactor. Is there any way to fix this? , i had it connected all the time on the reactor that's running for 2 weeks now, carbon doser is unplugged and my co2 is also shut off. Theres is also a check valve so i dont think water goes tru the solenoid. I bought this one used and saw it working before.

Did you figure this out? I'm having the same problem.

No. Unfortunately. I wonder if this issue can be fixed

Is the check valve allowing gas through? Which check valve do you have?

I reach out to a aquarium plants, the manufacturer of the carbondoser. I called them a year or two ago about a unit I want to buy used and the owner called me back and talk to me for about a half an hour. Super friendly super helpful. I'm sure he'll get you straightened out.

the Carbon dosers are not that bad. they are pretty popular with man and much better then the standard M ones that go for around $125-$175.00. I would highly recommend some reading in the lighting and equipment forum on DYI regulators from Alan Le. lots of great info. the burket needle valves are the tip. if you PM him he may have parts to build and sell on direct. Of course these are spendy but the best regulator you will ever need and should last for years.

Please update. Mine is not making any sound of the solenoid opening. The lights flash but no clicking of solenoid. Maybe the check valve failed and water got into circuitry. I don't want to buy another regulator if I can get this to work.

Aquarium plants will repair carbon doser at no cost for life I think, so long as water hasn't gotten in them.

This is my carbon doser looks like.
It has digital that counts bubbles.
I return it to seller and he will try to contact aquariumplants if they can repair it. If not, he has a friend who might be able to fix or replace some parts. Hope it gets fixed. Ill let u guys know how it goes.

Evidence of water got in. So even with check valve, it does not protect the unit 100%. I guess my mistake is I left carbon doser unplugged and connected to a running carx for days.
Aquariumplants don't repair and don't sell parts if it's this kind of issue. This co2regulator is a trash now

Sorry to hear that. I had a feeling this was the problem. What will you be replacing it with? I will be replacing mine with a two stage regulator, just not sure what kind.
