I have been using the AIO for several years now. Fantastic product. I have two -- one in Ireland (I spend around half my time here) and one in Florida. Early on I tried the filtering thing. To be honest, I didn't get enough improvement to make it worth the effort. I do kit wines, so...

Measuring vacuum of the All-In-One Being the engineer type I am and since I restrict the flow (against Steve's judgment, I just want to be clear this is *not* a supported use) I was always wondering what kind of vacuum I was really pulling. You can't see a vacuum, obviously, and once I get a...

wine shutoff valve experience A while back I posted about using a plastic 1/4-turn shutoff valve to control the flow. While it did work great, Steve worried that sanitation would be a problem. For a while I had no problems, but then one time I saw some stringy stuff come out of it after...

Well, the inside diameter of the valve is the same inside diameter as a racking cane (at least as near as my eyeballs can tell holding them side-by-side and looking down their bores) so I don't see having the valve inline would cause any issue that the racking cane already doesn't. Obviously...

new toys for my all in one I have been using the AIO both here and in Ireland for the past year (I've posted before in this thread about). I love it. Maybe someday I'll get the whole house filter to work without leaking air, but I'm doing fine without it. I recently got two toys to help...

richmke, I tried it again and again it filled the filter halfway before pulling liquid out of the filter. I do think I have it set up correctly (in and out are pretty simple to figure out...). HOWEVER, I reread this whole thread and somebody mentioned they had the same problem -- and it...

Thanks, Steve. I appreciate your taking the time while on vacation. I didn't see that the wine was cloudy, perhaps not as quite as clear as I would normally go to bottle, but close (I thought). I erroneously thought that the filter would take care of what remained. After I bottled the...

Steve, where on the site? I forgot to mention in my last post. Steve, I have no idea where you are trying to refer me to. You have the information about the filter down in the shop pages. A year ago I was having trouble with air leaks and you asked if I had read what you had written about...

Thanks, Mike. I racked two batches today. I used a new 5 micron filter -- all I have at this point, and being in Ireland I don't think I can get ones that fit the US cartridge. Well, I started to, at any rate. With your post in mind, I watched the cartridge as I began to filter. At only...

then what good is 5 micron filter at all? If I should have used a 1 micron filter on my whites, what is the purpose of using a 5 micron filter on reds if yeast passes right on through? Is there something else that I would be filtering out of the reds? Something that might make a difference...

odd experience while using AIO and whole house filter I bottled some wine a couple of months ago and had an odd experience. I'm using the AIO pump I brought from the States (I'm in Ireland for the summer, and just as a side note the AIO pump works fine on 50Hz power just using a simple...

bottling problem solved I was plagued by my bottles filling really fast and having a somewhat difficult time controlling the flow of wine. I saw various references in this thread about the hole in the vacuum connector to reduce the flow. I never saw it on mine. The reason is that the...

degass followup As he said, Steve PM'ed me and wanted to talk about my experience. He thought I didn't like the AIO! I like it so much I'm planning to take mine to my house in Ireland and will buy another for here! Steve posted in his reply that he has told people to pinch the supply...

faster degassing? Somebody a few pages back wanted to know if wine could be degassed with just a couple of passes with the AIO. People said no. I don't think that is the case. Yes, a straight transfer didn't seem to remove all that much CO2, so I can see how numerous repetitions over time...
