1. If you are using gelatine and or bentonite in your wine and if these products have not settled sufficiently, this will cause a coating effect on your Pads. You may experience back pressure which may cause excessive leakage and/or slower output. 2. FOR BEST RESULTS: Wine should be 2- 3 months old and kept in as cool a spot as you have in you home prior to filtration. During this time the wine will mature, achieve better body and allow the suspended particles and products to drop naturally. At this stage you may proceed to filter with the #2 pads to achieve the shine and sparkle in your wine. You then may follow up with our #3 pads. For better results allow 2-4 days between filtrations. 3. If you wish to filter a young wine (30 days old), we recommend using #1 pads first. You may filter with the #2 pads immediately after filtering with the #1, however the wine is in an agitated state and it would be advisable to wait 2-4 days between filtrations. You may then follow with the #3 after 2-4 days. 4. A young wine that is being filtered may come through the unit agitated, due to a high content of C0, that may be present in the wine during fermentation, this is normal. Continue filtering into your clean container. Within 10 - 15 minutes your wine will stabilize and you will see the clarity achieved in filtering. 5. We do not recommend bottling your wine directly from the filter, you should filter from carboy to carboy. Your wine is being pumped through the filters and is in an agitated state and should not be bottled as such. Allow your wine to rest for a few days before you bottle. Wine should be bottled using proper bottling equipment.
