Re: [GSAS-Member] Seeking CO2 Set-Up

Shango:

It is nice to see a vendor offer a beverage derived regulator.  You may 
consider omitting the solenoid if you run 24hr/day and the bubble counter if 
that functionality is duplicated in your system (a common source of leaks) and 
make sure you get a CO2 check valve (not the plastic type) to protect your 
system.

I can also name some local sources for a CO2 cylinder if required during the 
board meeting on Wednesday. :)

You may also want to investigate the homebuilt CO2 indicators "CO2 Drop 
Checkers" currently fabricated in Bellevue.
