Hey guys,
I have a generic bar gun setup.

water -> carbonator -> chill plate -> bar gun
BiB -> bar gun

I have noticed that I get differing flow rates of soda water depending on when in the cycle I fill at. Right after the carbonator motor finishes a cycle the soda water comes shooting out at a very fast rate, especially when compares to later in the cycle. This makes my sodas have different flavors depending on when in the cycle it comes out. Any ideas of how to fix this?

I was reading around on the forum and saw people talking about Shurflo Water regulators. That would seem to limit the water pressure into the carbonator... but would that actually fix this issue?

Thanks in advance!
 
bump. Is this just me or does this happen to everyone? Im seeing a 10-15ml/s difference.
