I had to recently replace the entire spring loaded arm. Probably not totally necessary but I didn't want to mess around with seals and rubber parts when the whole arm was about 50 bucks. The old one was in service for thousands of bottles.I had a few good years, now I don't seem to be able to generate the necessary vacuum to lift wine against gravity.
Does anyone have any suggestions? I have replaced the O rings without help
I have one and love it as well. How come you add grease to the O-ring?I use mine and really like it. Very useful piece of kit. I can bottle and cork by myself with it.
If you get one, here's a tip. Use food grade silicone grease on the big o-ring of the vacuum tank.
O-rings need occasional lubrication to stay soft & pliable.I have one and love it as well. How come you add grease to the O-ring?
I use a vacuum pump for bottling, it lifts from the floor to the tabletop w/o any issues.I'm considering one of these to improve my bottling game... How high can you move wine using the built in vacuum system? Specifically, if I have a keg/carboy on the ground and the bottling station on a table (say 3ft), will it
Yes no problem at all. My barrels are much lower than the table that I use to bottle.I'm considering one of these to improve my bottling game...
