Carbon Doser Issue

[Snowxcross]

Hi there, i've had the Carbon Doser running for probably 7 months, prior i was using a Milwaukee but got tired of manually turning the adjuster screw here and there. So since i've had it, i've never been able to keep the dial at 3 seconds or basically anything less then 10 seconds. It works dont get me wrong, but it releases not one bubble, but like 3 at 3 seconds, then another 1 or 2 bubbles after it's done that. If i run it at 10 seconds, my PH in the reactor hovers around 6.1 - 6.2. This is a fresh filled tank and i'm running the pressure at 10. The only way i can keep it roughly around 6.5 PH this past year was to lower the pressure to like 2 and keep it on 10 seconds bubble count. My parameters arent bad, in fact that's not a problem at all. What i cant figure out is the carbon doser and dialing it in correctly like a lot of other people i've read threads on. What do you think? There is a check valve installed, unsure if that's the issue or not, calcium reactor is a reef octo 100. Thank you!

If you can hold a pH at 6.5 running it at 2 psi and a bubble every ten seconds, why aren't you comfortable doing so? While I have no experience with the CarbonDoser regulator, I have read that people running it at fairly low pressures is not out of the ordinary. I believe Scott Leif (Slief on here, RC & in LA Fish Guys YouTube videos) runs his CarbonDoser at 2 to 3 psi as well.

No I am totally comfortable with that, it's just advertised in a way that doesn't work well for me. Thanks man!
