So i just got my epiphany and i have a virtue and stock ion board
And it keeps popping the internal hoses off. I turned thr reg down and still sane problem
My ion is doing the sane thing. Does anyone know why this is?

Your hoses are probably worn out due to over pressurizing them. The higher pressure will cause them to stretch and have much less friction allowing it to stay on the barbs.

Try replacing the hoses. If that doesn't work, then your pressure may still be too high.

Ya i replaced em. And than also tried my ion board and the ion board leaks
From the selinoid. Im thinkn that the noids messed up

The solenoid wouldn't cause the hoses to remove themselves from the barb. Your solenoid might be leaking due to dirt/dust creating a bad seal which allows the leak. Check out the piston inside the solenoid and make sure there is no lube, grease, dirt, etc.

Did you get the correct size of hosing as well? If not, then that can cause issues as well. Check the output pressure on your regulator. The gauge may not be functioning correctly.

Well the original problem of the hoses popping off isnt happening anymore
Its just the noid leaking. I took the piston out and cleaned it and same problem
And thw gauge has been over pressurized i guess. Cuz its stuck all the way at 400

Ahh. Yeah, definitely sounds like your noid experienced an abusive relationship at one point. Do you know where it is leaking from? T-piece, hole at the bottom..
