Has anyone had a problem with using the bacteria filter on their vacuum pump? I'm thinking my pump doesn't have enough power. When I first got it, I tried transferring with just water, couldn't get it to pump the water up the racking cane, I thought I had a leak in a connection somewhere, so I hooked directly to the carboy cap, the water would only come up part way on the racking cane from the receiving vessel. I took the filter off, and it worked no problem. My pump does not have a guage, I know, it should. The dial has two settings, the max being 500mm hg which equals about 19", which should be safe, according to what I've read. Just wondering if anyone else has had such an issue.
Thanks,
Kim
