    I think you meant "balance Line" A connection between the two tanks, usually on the cip arms. 15psi is better, especially if in-line carbonating.
    I feel the secret to fast and high yield filters is to have as clear beer as possible to begin with. Good mash runoff (glutens), good trub separation (proteins), good flocculation and cropping practice (yeast), use of racking arms or standpipes in FV's.\
    Also- 2 bar pressure differential is on the high side for sheet filtration, defiantly time to back-flush. But at least with these filters you don't loose allot of beer when you do.

      how many pads

      I was curious as to how many filter pads people are using? Right now I am using 17 (5-9 micron) pads to filter approximately 20 bbls in just under 2 hours. I keep thinking I could cut back on the number of pads I am using but don't just want to blindly remove some to the point of binding the machine up or drastically adding to my day.

      Thanks,

      Bill
