Any1 have problems w/ hydro innovations hydrgenPro CO2 burner?

I have had nothing but problems w/ this thing. I've cleaned the screens in the water tubes, changed pumps, bought a new bottle of propane, replaced the blue igniter box w/ all electrical wiring 2X's, replaced the gas valve, you name it. And it STILL lights & then shuts off. Hydro innovations has been pretty cool though. They sent me a new igniter (which is practically all of the wiring, switches, & electrical components), than they sent me a new gas valve, THEN they sent me a thermal couple w/ another igniter. THEN after inst. the 2nd igniter & thermal couple it started working! Then I went away from it for an hour, & when I came back.... same freaking thing!!!! This thing has been an absolute nightmare. NOW, I'm sending it in to hydro innovations but I'm only getting a rebuild back! I bought a brand new unit & have only got 5mins of good use out of it. ) :

What did you pay for it? why don't you just get a co2 tank and regulator? Sorry I haven't used one before, good that ur hydro store took care of you though.. better luck on your rebuild. Co2 tank and regulator be bought for 200$ and then all you'd need is a co2 ppm reader which you might already have.

Check out my thread, I'm having some issues setting up properly and feel there is much room for improvement, it's a short thread: https://www.rollitup.org/grow-room-design-setup/453045-first-grow-1000w-flowering-room-2.html
 
Refilling the CO2 canisters sucks let alone BIG $$$. I'm gonna run the propane 4 a while 2 c how much it costs & then convert it 2 natural gas. The real problem though is trying 2 keep the heat down. It's like running a furnace in the room. That's y I went w/ the hydrogen pro because it's a water cooled burner. I'm in the process of building a manifold for my cooling water to run through the burner & a few heat exchangers so I won't have to pump air out of the room & waste co2 but cool the air im pulling thru my hoods & just circulate it in my room. You should check out some of hydro innovations YouTube videos & you'd see exactly what I am talking about. ( ;
