Question for the bubble cap pros....my plates are pretty deep. I end up with a fair amount of fluid on them at the end of a run, which ends up "greening" the bits that are immersed. I'm thinking of drilling a small hole in the plates to allow drainage after the boiler is turned off. If small enough, I think they wouldn't cause a change in the plate dynamics (<-- note the feeble attempt to sound smart there? Admit it, you were almost fooled. Almost) as the pressure would be approx the same as, or more than, the pressure to just go through the caps. Or should I just learn a better wat tonclean it at the end of a run, IE not get so messed up that I forget to back flush it. I did see your vids EG, and liked the way you steamed it off, but wonder if even that would be enough. I have added a drain and a fill to the boiler since the last run, so pulling backset out and getting clean water in will be easy in the future but it might be nice to not have fluid stored on the plates until the next run. Just some kinks to sort out for future runs I guess. Kinda pissed at myself for not seeing it before. As my next run was gonna be a cleared wash, looks like more vinagar for me! :violin:
