yes plastic tops. using millpore 22um filters. I'm looking for specs on the filters but cant find any pertaining to amount of vac pressure they can withstand. I already have a vac pump.

You could just run it man. Just do a small batch. I doubt they wont hold up. It should be g2g.
Well, had a filter fail lastnight at about 20-25hg. So this time around I want to be able to set this thing up and go. Plus with the vac pump one can filter 6 different items at one time. Anyways a perfect vacum is 29.9hg depending on atmospheric pressure.In a perfect world that computes to just under 15psi. So as long as the filters can handle 15psi of vacum then I should be good to go.

Sounds good man, could you keep me informed?
Yes, I will def post up how this goes. Also max opperating temp for the millpore stericup filters is 45c or 110F.
Bro totally use glass media bottles! They are teh shit those plastic ones always crack and i run 25 hg
A hand pressure pump with a glass media bottle should work fine. Just make sure you do not crack the filter by applying too much pressure.
How much have you filtered with a hand pump at one time??Originally Posted by tilltheend
bro u can filter as much as u can go it jus tholds vacuum bro. Its up to your filter how much shit it filters out or horomone cloggs it up not allowing anymore oil to go through thats all.
I'm talking about volume. I'm trying to filter a rather large amount of oil. Hand pump is fine. But vacum bleeds off as oil filters and vacum leakage. I'd like to set up filter system and just have to check it throughout filtering instead of sitting there watching it drip.. kind of like watching pain dry!! lol..
