wade said:1 is a pump which would be4 used for degassing and possibly racking. The other is a digital scale for weighing out ingredients.

appleman said:Hey Scotty it looks like you bought the last scale. I looked at the link and the model you got and they say they are out of stock! You lucky dog! I hope it works great for you. Let us know how it works. I'm sure you will have fun with it with all the chemistry experiments you are always doing.

For $26 plus shipping, Why spend all my time using a manual pump. For what I need, I see no reason to spend a ton of money, or get a bigger unit than what you have or what I just got.
What are you going to do about regulating the amount of suction?
Rheostat? Line bleeder? Mine is only 1/10 HP so I could probably use a rheostat, I see you have a capacitor so you may not be able to do that, a line bleeder may be your only choice. A line bleeder (might not be the right terminology) is like that little thumb turn thing they use to let the pressure off of a blood pressure cuff.

Cracked Cork said:THere is an orange plastic cap with 2 ports on it, into one you slide your tubing, the other you close off. A trap is a must, it only takes one time to mess up your pump. Also an inline filter keeps vapors out too. Crackedcork
jobe05 said:I have used the orange cap a few time while degassing and I liked it. It gives a since of insurance against anything bad happening since he cap usually gave way around 18 to 22 HG . Kinda better than having the glass give way...... although it probably won't at those pressures.
