Having to run it around 12-15 to even get bubbles in reactor. I have a dannerle check Valve. When ran at high rates I do get bubbles however they do not seem to be consistent with the rate such as if I have it at 1 per 4 seconds I get 3-4 per 4 seconds likely because of the high pressure.

This is the valve I’m using.

When mine got to where I needed really high pressure (30+), my regulator was rusty. I move the Carbon Doser box to a different regulator and it worked great again. That being said, 15-20 is about where I run mine.
 
Ps. Yes I did triple check the valve to make sure that I had it installed in the correct direction.
 
The me flew the input so far. My gauge only goes to 15 so almost maxing it out seemed unreasonable but maybe it isn’t.

My old gauge I used to run at 20. But it wasn’t a carbon doser.
