I am gonna buy a 5lb co2 tank to setup my calcium system, but then started wondering, how long will it last? I don't want to have to refill it every week.
 
Well, if you use don't tighten the connection well enough like I did...TWICE!:mad:, about a day to a week. If you set it up correctly, about a year plus on most smaller tanks;)
 
My wife is paranoid about stuff like that so I definately won't let that happen. Thanks for the input Mike, I wanted to get a small co2 tank, but just wanted to make sure that it would last for a while.
 
i suggest replacing the funny paper washer every 3-4 months! thats what the brewer told me anyways
