My grande needed some salt after using the EX, but it flowed like crap anyway. Works great now. Hard to justify another pump now but I'll keep this one in mind.

<p>To remove bubbles, you have to reverse flow for few second, it's tricky, so if I filter a small bottle, I just let it do in slow mode.</p>

<p>About my plastic bottle, it is just an original cleaning product bottle that I selected because the fitting was already there :-)</p>
<p>I'm sure you can find one at home too.</p>

I must be doing something wrong. Best I can get is a trickle out of the bag and quick connect.<br />

How did you make the piece that fits in the bottom of your plastic bottle?

<p>Hi, I'm glad you like it.</p>
<p>But it is much more faster than manual pump filter IF bubble free.</p>
<p>That's the challenge. If you manage to get it flow at full speed, you will filter a Grande in 5mn!</p>

<p>Filtering has been challenging for me, too. I used the Miniworks EX, and Ben, I discovered it removed some of the color in the liquid and sometimes it caused lamps to stop flowing. Several times I had to use the concentrated salt solution to get lamps flowing after filtering with the EX. :>(</p>

<p>This filter is ceramic only (that's good for our use).</p>

<p>If yours have carbon, I wouldn't use it for filtering a lamp.</p>
