The max temp for these filters is 45 celsius. The max vac pressure is 700mmhg. Stay a little under on both and u will be fine.
Thanks for the info Charger. I'll definitely be trying 110-115F next time i filter!

With zapcaps you use the vacuum pressure to get them to hold. They are my favorite filters ever. Sometimes they will hold better when you put some oil in first then add vacuum pressure but they will hold at 25 no problem and you can re use them if wet you have to filter at or under 50°C. Every once in a while ill get one that's funny. So I will put the plastic piece in tight the tube connects to and put a thin strip of duct tape around the plastic piece to make a good deal there.

^^^^ I told you about how easy it is to use a 3 ml syringe to filter with.
You put the duct tape just around the plastic piece that connects to the filter and your tube. A very thing strip once pushed in tight the wrap the thin piece of duct tape around the side of the filter and the plastic valve just to make sure it's sealed tight. If you want u can put a small piece around the end of the tubing where it connects to the filter port as well. Put some oil in and hold down on the filter while adding the pressure. After it gets to 15 it should hold no problem. I crank them up to 25 they work so well but I have had an occasssional one that's a bit**, and first want to hold pressure for anything. But make sure you have a good 50 no liquid in or try with no liquid both methods work at different times. Most of the time they just work. I add an extra prefilter to collect the larger junk so the filter will lat linger but any other brand I've tried exploded or leaked out the sides at with the pressure only at 5 to 7. Smh. But with all zap caps I add a thin strip of duct tape around the outside of the connection for the pump. Make sure it has a nice tight seal. Usually in actually add two thin strips and the where the nozzle connects to the tubbing. But some you have to use a hand pump and just keep pumping. And it may get up to 20 or so then slowly or quickly drop. I've actually has to add weight to the top of the filter before as well its been years but I would take a heavy jar or something similar with some weigjt like a glass canning jar filled with spare change that sometimes puts enough weight on them to make it hold but you should have to but I have in the past just make sure it can't tip. I built a little wood stand the filter and bottle 45 top would fit in and add the weighed jar on top with little pieces on the corners that held it up then place against a wall or as close as you can get so it can't tip if putting weight on top or you can just set against the wall and microwave with something in from to make sure it can't tip. I don't know why they do this once in a while but that's maybe 1 of 50 for me that I have issues with but I always put tape on them. In the morning ill post a pic of one that I had an issue with and show u how I tape them.
