Do you think the new regulator is actually higher quality then your old one?
Works way different than the regulator I used before. Sure you set seconds per bubble/bubbles per second but you also change size of bubbles, so at first I set the pressure to 15lbs (what I had it at before) and bubble count at 1 bubble every 10 seconds, same setting I had it on before. Well it took the pH down in the reactor to below 7 in minutes lol. So now I am just adjusting the size of bubble, right now it is at 4.5lbs pressure.

4.5 wasn't enough pressure, I now raised it to 5.5. What I am doing is getting my base set, instead of lowering seconds per bubble I'd rather adjust the pressure, that way as needed I can lower the bubble count in the future.

Still trying to adjust this, you can really customize your output.
I've been running one for years. I run my regulator on manual with no controller for over 10 years now. I have my reg dialed in to match my consumption rate. I always keep my low pressure gauge set at 4. I only tweek small adjustments with the bubble count per second

Adjusting the bubble size is awesome, you can really change how much co2 is going in but still keep your bubble count low.

For me though the reason I bought it is no need to sit there and count bubbles and it stays within 1/1000th of that setting at all times.
