O2 regulator fixer upper

[galantra]

So I have a carbon doser totally forgot about it but been sitting in my outdoor garage and now this thing is so rusted and looks like the gages are not working.

Wanted to know is this a fix or just toss it out. Only reason why I ask the electric part is still working maybe save a little money

Yea that certainly doesn't look very healthy. The attachment between the black box and regulator looks bent as well.
Innards are mostly solid state with a clippard mouse solenoid. Will depend on how corroded the circuit board is.
The regulator part is an easy replacement and relatively cheap (compared to the initial purchase price).
Oddly found at Home Depot.

I don't believe the attachment is any propitiatory thread though there looks to be a quick connect there. Regulator should be 1/4 npt though (no guarantee).
Just remove the outlet valve and replace with the quick connect.

Anyways first things first.. check the innards of the black box. "Some people say" it's hard to get apart.

Hi guys, after reading a few posts here and other forums, and after having experience with a Tunze Regulator + Solenoid so I got the conclusion that those brands that are for sale for Calcium Reactors in BRS and Marine Depot are pretty much junk, so I would like to know which parts are good, in...

CO2 dosing controller for calcium reactor

Several years ago, I had a CO2 regulator from Carbon Doser / Aquarium Plants which has the unique feature of a "regulated" bubbles per second instead of a needle valve.

I appreciate you supplying this information. I was conflicted in just buying another carbon doser cause didn’t feel it help me that much.

So the black box is actually crack so just wiggles holding on to the regulator it powers on with no issues. So a simple HD regulator part might save me???

Really gonna give this a try
