Milwaukee CO2 regulator problem

[pappasmurf]

My regulator on my calcium reactor won't start when the Ph meter indicates the need for more CO2,( I have to switch the power to the solenoid off and on to get it to start ), I think the diafram in the solenoid is going bad but not sure.
Has anyone had this problem, and if it's the diafram where can I get one along with the instructions to fix it. Thanks Tim

you can take the solenoid apart pull the plunger out and clean it and put alittle silcone greese on it make sure you don't have anything in the hole in the brass block. make sure you have a check valve in between the reactor and the solenoid. Geo sell them.

If your not familiar with how to work on one. I called Milwaukee and had a hard time getting off the phone with they guy. They will help you understand them adjust them, repair and clean them and there is not a part on it they will not replace. Great customer service.

Please give us a call between 9 AM and 5 PM East coast time at 252-443-3630 or 877-283-7837

Thanks for the info. I took it apart and cleaned and greased the solenoid as suggested, but it still won't kick in, so I quess the next step is to call Milwaukee. Thanks for all the help. Tim
