scott711 February 19, 2014 Share February 19, 2014 What brand? plug it in, see if it has a light. You probably are going to have to connect it to a tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scott711 February 19, 2014 Share February 19, 2014 you will have to connect it to a tank and see if you can set the solenoid to hold a bubble count. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveS February 19, 2014 Share February 19, 2014 plug the solenoid in and you should hear a little click or pop. Unplug and you'll hear it again. Do that a bunch of times to make sure the solenoid is working reliably. The light isn't quite as accurate. The solenoids are the biggest failure point as the pin can get corroded and not move reliably. If that's the case, chances are you'll just want to buy a new one. Repairing the solenoid is a pain because spare internal parts are hard to get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
