After a couple of days of not using the compressor, I see that my filter stack has returned to ambient pressure. Its well isolated with a check valve and BPR on either end, but the leaks are too small to find with soapy water, so I guess this is something I have to live with. The rest of the compressor stages also eventually bleed down.
If your compressor is going to sit at atmosphere for a significant period of time, do you take out your filter media and store away so it isn't "exposed"?
Or is this just not an issue as the media (ie MS) does its real magic only under pressure and any ambient loss is minor?
I'm not really sure this has any significant effect wrt to Hop or AC, but if so I'd like hear about it.
Thanks for any thoughts!
