Tim, Yes it does and yes I am. I bring the lever up about 1/4 of the way up, but, not so much that the pump starts. I installed a Watts regulator into the feed line of the Brewtus. I have the pressure set to 25 psi, per Todd's recommendation. At 25 psi, I let the water trickle into the puck for about 3 seconds. Seems to do the trick. I'm very pleased with the quality of my drinks. I really like not having the vib pump in the machine. Kind of like having bun warners in your car on a cold winter day....
