HELP!!!
New member, have definitely skimmed/read/absorbed/learned from the site in the past however this is my first post, first thread, first handle.
Greetings...
So, have been running a pair of 2lb CLS's passively for a while, took a bit to work through numerous newb issues, mistakes & tribulations. Got my system down and recovery times Andretti quick with gluttonous amounts of dry ice and silly amounts of elbow grease, but got it down.
Decided what the heck, grab a couple rec.pumps one sleeve/ball valve to start and upgrade the necessary parts to go active.
Had issues all over the place on the first day, starting when I set up the dewaxing sleeve & ball valve...

- How long is an acceptable soak time before dropping your tane into column?
- If not running active, do you close ball valve after allowing tane to drop into column before starting to recover or keep open?
- How do you know when all tane has flowed through to your column without a sight glass, and what can you do in order to help speed this up??? I had huge issues with wayyy too much butane left in material tubes above the ball valve multiple times. Every time actually, even after allowing way more time to flow through than normal.
- If/when going active how long should you run it?
- Should recovery pumps run full time during recovery/active extraction or should you toggle a bit when pressure levels reach 0 on gauge, wait for some to build back up and then turn pump back on?
