Customer Reviews

Love this paintball regulator.
So neat and simple to use. It is a very sturdy feeling piece. Adjsuting the co2 into my Beta tank was much simpler than I thought. Very happy with everything I would certainly buy again. Except next time Im going with the 5Lb cylinder.
-
Great build quality.
Great paintball regulator. I needed a compact regulator and this fit the bill. Needle valve is super precise and much easier to use. Even the art work on the packaging was cool lol :)
-
Compact co2 regulator.
I like this regulator because it fits on my counter top. The main reason I went with this is because its compatible with all cylinder types. When Im ready for full size I just get the GLA adapter. GLA has been terrific.

Love this paintball regulator.
I needed a compact regulator to fit my space. This fit the bill perfectly. Not only that I really liked the fact I can use this on any cylinder type available using GLA's adapter. The installation was only 2 minutes and dialing in the bubble rate was a breeze. Once I notice the gauge start to drop that tells me its time to change cylinders. Love it.

Wonderful Regulator
I couldn't be happier with my GLA GRO Paintball Regulator. Its precise and consistent, maintaining the bubble count even after restarting each morning. Its small size makes it super convenient to hide, although I prefer to show mine off due to its high quality. I'll will certainly continue to use GLA regulators for my future tanks.
-
Worth every penny! When you read the instructions lol
Thankfully I used the brain cells I have left and followed GLA's basic instructions on how to use the diffusers. Works amazingly well when you actually follow instructions.

Gro paintball aquarium co2 regulator
This is a must have, especially for those with a smaller tank with limited space. This regulator’s assembly is excellent, reliable and has a small profile which makes it easy to hide.

You get what you pay for.
Really well made and worth every penny. Don’t cheap out on a regulator. It’s important and you won’t be made AT ALL with this one. Really fast shipping to. Like really fast!!!

Easy to use, high quality
I'm very happy with this regulator. It sealed right onto the paintball canister, no leaks. Everything feels solid and well built. It's also very easy to adjust. Both the regulator and needle valve have plenty of degrees of rotation so I can dial in both pressure and bubble count. The solenoid only gets mildly warm; it's not even uncomfortable to touch. I would recommend this without hesitation for anyone looking for a compact CO2 system.
