x-10 co2 problem

[Reeftoker]

I hooked my new Ac up . Set all the x-10s to what I want to use them for. Some reason when my co2 regulator gets turned off by the ac it doesnt shut off the co2 regulator and I am still getting bubbles through it. I am using a milwaukee regulator any ideas what is going wrong.

The bubble rate will not come to a dead stop immediately. There will be some pressure left in the lines that will need to bubble out for a while after the solenoid closes. I have the same regulator BTW.

Some CO2 solenoids draw so little power that the leakage current out of the X10 module keeps the solenoid activated. There are three work arounds:

- Use DC4, DC4HD, or DC8s instead for control.
- Use a plug splitter and plug an additional load into the module (like a small light bulb).
- Follow the instructions on our website to disable local control in the module. Here's the link http://www.neptunesys.com/hardwareFAQ.htm#LOCALCONTROL. . Also you'll want to cut the lead on the diode (black cylinder w/ white band) in the lower left hand corner.
