Re: [APD] what i wish i knew (or had remembered!)

[Steve B <habubak at yahoo_com>]

Good morning, Rich!
   
  GREAT advice, I hadn't considered that!  Not only do I have a cat, who is fully armed and not afraid to scratch at new things, but my "better half" adopted a beagle puppy who is teething.... OH NO!
   
  I hadn't even considered the problems my other pets might pose to the tubing.  I will give this matter careful thought, and THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for bringing that up before I had a broken/chewed-up tube.  I will definitely be getting the CO2 resistant heavy-duty tubing now...  maybe even enough for some backup tubing just in case  :-)
   
  Cheers & Gig'Em,
  Steve

Use a check valve on the CO2 line. 

Find a place that will refill CO2 tanks other than your LFS. I paid $25 for 
a swap out at the LFS, $17.50 at a welding shop, and now i get them filled at 
a company that's primary business is selling fire extinguishers.They charge 
me $7.00 to refill my tank and it never takes them more than 5 minutes to do 
it! Which includes checking out the score of the Red Sox game.

If you have a cat in the house use the heavy tubing sold for CO2. 
Just because it shows bubbles in the bubble counter doesn't mean the gas is 
getting into the tank.
