Giggles, have you even read the 1 page A4 instructions that came with the vac and pump bru? lmfao (probably not, just like me at first).
Anyway, I was thinking about what the pump does, and after watching them demonstrate it I began to question the need for the pump to be on after your desired pressure is reached. And right enough, under Chamber Operational Instructions: Last sentence>
Use the valve to hold the vacuum not the pump.

wowzers, i almost sounds like a bho chemist type, time to get a "fixy bike and grow a big beard!"

So off to bed I go with the test lump left at 29 inside the chamber (tin pot, haha) and the pump, OFF.

So don't be wasting the pump having it on constantly lad.
Iedereen, alvast een fijne dag nog en tot morgen.
