Leaking CO2's.
« on: March 11, 2015, 06:30:46 AM »
There was a previous thread about this.......

But I've just had the attached brought to my attention......

This is the first time I've seen one actually bubbling but the point is that half an hour after taking this photo, the bubbles had popped and there was no evidence of a leak. No loss of weight either.

So are all the ones with gunk around the neck (and there is many) leakers where you just can't see the bubbles?

We'll await the manufacturers response.

Nope.  The 'gunk' I believe is a product of the rubber o-ring breaking down.  If you see active bubbling, it's leaking.

We'll await the manufacturers response.
The latest I've heard is that TG are only exchanging these leaking/bubbling units if they've lost weight.  Now that's difficult to achieve isn't it.  ;)  ;D
