Nice! I was curious how a closed loop worked and found this video. https://youtu.be/0_EqQmSrHeQ

Not sure if that's the same manufacturer, I noticed that when I did mine manually with a second person and in the video as the system purges the larger bubbles the smaller bubbles take more time to evacuate.

Great find Wayne
