Any instructions floating around for filling a brite under pressure?
I gave it a halfhearted try today and quickly gave up for fear of ruining our pump (Enoitalia Flexible Impeller, Euro-50-FD). The brite was filled with CO2 at about 18 PSI (the plan was to let the CO2 bleed out of the sample tap while we filled, we were not planning to go above the sample tap). We had a hose connected to the bottom of the brite, connected to the pump, connected to another hose going into a tote filled with cider. We turned the pump on, set at 7 out of then. Then we slowly opened the butterfly valve on the bottom of the brite and CO2 immediately started flowing out of the tank and into the tote. We quickly stopped.
Any idea what went wrong? Can I pump not handle filling under pressure? Should we try turning it all the way up? Start out with a lower pressure on the brite?
Thanks
