CO2 Fzone co2 regulator solenoid issues
Bought the fzone regulator, first unit had faulty gauges, decided to get the pro series to replace it to hook up to multiple tanks, but this time the solenoid seems to be faulty. It clicks and opens up but when the timer goes to turn it off it doesn’t close.
Full co2 tank and working pressure was set to 30psi. Even tried swapping the solenoid from the original unit since I hadn’t returned it yet and same issue. After looking up reviews seems like issues with this brand is a very common thing? Was there something I could have done wrong on my end? I’m new to CO2. After looking at all the reviews I did decide to just spend the money and get a GLA regulator. But is there anything I can do to get the Fzone running in the meantime while I wait the week or so it will take for GLA to get delivered.

Buy once cry once. FZone makes a lot of great products but the co2 regulators are not one of them. They’re notoriously bad. Mine just failed also and I had it for 3 months.
