My solenoid isn't allowing any co2 out so I'm looking to get a new one and of course I want a good one. Has anyone tried the one from Aquarium plants .com?
 
Looks very slick...has the reputation of being the most accurate. For some reason I think I remember Acroholic posting that he picked up one for the new build, might be worth a PM.

Mine is stuck in the open position ( I know it's not supposed to happen), I wish I could afford a nice one, but I'll be giving Grainger a call
 
Have you tried whacking it with a hard object? Worked for me in the past... And made the problem worse in some situations.
 
No, but I poked it with a stick... lol.

Lightly tapped it a couple of times, didn't do much. It was a used system when I got it and the regulator was already toast, looked like some salt corrosion in some of the fittings probably got solenoid as well. Luckily I've got a couple of spares regulators. The solenoid worked for a little bit then went out for good (I think).
