anyone run a pressure switch in their C02 bottle for CA reactor? I'm wanting to get notification (via apex breakout box) when bottle pressure gets low. If anyone has done this, what model switch did you use? Thanks in advance.

If you do find a suitable switch you may be able to hook it up so it closes
solenoid to turn off the CO2 as to prevent the end of the bottle dump.

That being said my CO2 last a very long time so I just check the gauge as part of regular maintenance.

Thank you very much for the reply. That's a great idea for sure. I will add that failsafe in my programming on the apex. Still havnt sourced a switch though . Gonna make some calls tomorrow and see if I can track one down.

No updates yet, been busy with work lately. I'm hoping to have a bit of free time this week to source one. I'm sure what I am wanting exists, just a matter of finding it.
