My guess is that you CO2 must be leaking somewhere. Even though you O.J.
container is swollen it may not have enough pressure because it could be
leaking at the cup. I had this problem. You can solve it by using thread
seal tape. Also, if you have a check valve between you yeast bottle and
diffuser you my want to submerge in a cup of watter and see if your CO2
escapes there. Basically any connector may leak and you may want to
check them all until you find a problem.



Thanks,

I siliconed my check valve into the top of the container. So the CV is
inside the OJ container and the nipple sticks through the lid. Could be the
lid or the CV leaking.
My guess is that it is lid. Use thread seal tape.

I also noticed that it takes a LOT of pressure
through the CV to produce bubbles in the tank. I tested this by blowing on
the check valve.
I am not sure that it would make any difference once the steady pressure
established.
However my first check valve was also quite tight (you've got the spring
loaded one, isn't) and I replaced it with the another one less tight.
