O Apeks. So if you have an "auto" Apeks ONE of the problems is the programing in the recovery. Other than the fact it takes 2hrs to recover, the program lets the sep go to 450psi; this is what is causing a large portion of your carryover problems. Until you can get them to update your program to remain below 300psi during recovery try lowering your chiller temp. This will add some time to recovery, but it is preferred over rebuilding the pump every 25 hrs.
Some of you had said how unhelpful Apeks is. Agreed! Here is how it goes:
1- are you using a siphon tank
2-maybe direction of the orifice is wrong check that
3-chiller temp
4-are you using the same material
5-you could add another filter
6-yeah seals go out they will need to be replaced
all that on the first handful hrs of running (5L 5000psi). Must be operator error. Doesn't help when their tec guys fuck up and then point fingers at you.
I have run Apeks for years- the Apeks 5L-1500 not automated, 20L-1500 not auto, 5L-1500 auto, 5L-5000 auto and they treat me the same. I apeks was my only option I would go with the 1500psi not auto. A better machine is the Waters unit, which i have run too.
One problem is they feel they know best for a plant they hate and can't even beta test (sorry hops is close but still way different). Unwilling to take recommendations for changes based on science b/c that would take soooo much programing.
I haven't had the chance to run Eden's models though I feel Eden has great forward thinking and will continue to grow and develop, but I see Apeks going away.
