Good to know.

I used lower pressure as I could hear reservoir stretch when pressurizing. But my method was to pressurize tank, check pressure, slowly open wand valve. Last session I left valve open and pumped tank to pressurize reservoir. Seemed easier on reservoir.

My general recollection was that people used 15 PSI. While watching stream, I saw no difference in flow rate to rears with 10 PSI or 15 PSI. I settled on 12 PSI. But watching the stream is hardly scientific. ;)

Maybe I could try a higher pressure.
