Thanks Graeme...... My pressure does not fluctuate at all and/or has any water hammer issues. I am just concerned that pressure of 35-50 may be too much for the Brewtus. The 1/4" line that feeds the Brewtus is the same line that has been feeding my refrigerator ice machine for years, so I am assuming that if the ice machine can handle the pressure of my 1/4" feed line then the Brewtus can???
I just want to make sure that I will not damage the Brewtus with my incoming pressure. Many thanks for your reply and if anybody else has experienced any issues with direct feed to their Brewtus I would love to hear from you........Tony On Wednesday, May 16, 2012 4:39:18 AM UTC-4, GRB wrote: > > Unless your mains pressure fluctuates a lot (or is very high) I wouldn't > worry about it.
