Hi people,
My CO2 regulator is a Harris 601.
Until recently, except for extended periods of non-use, I've always left the CO2 cylinder tap open all the time.
So...I'm not sure if this recent experience is normal, or a sign that my regulator needs a service.
Recently I've taken to turning the cylinder tap off overnight & regulator tap in set position.
Sometimes when I turn the cylinder on the following day the outlet gauge sits at the set pressure (or rises to set pressure if a few beers were poured without remembering to open the cylinder tap).
However...sometimes the outlet pressure keeps rising past the previous set pressure by anywhere up to 4-5psi more.
So, is this indicative of a sick regulator in need of repair, or somehow related to me leaving the cylinder tap off for some time?
