@Richard - Thank you for the unofficial statement of 45 minutes between pump cycles; I had been unsuccessful in finding this.
@Hypoxia - Two hours, that's amazing! Question for you - do you ever apply PTFE tape around the olives on the compression fittings?
Not the threads, I'm referring solely to the olive (and typically it's best to do this as a two-stage process; tighten, remove once olive is fixed to pipe, then PTFE, then re-apply/tighten). I only mention this because many people are under the false impression that PTFE shouldn't be used with compression fittings; however, that's intended for threads; it does have value around the olive when applied correctly.
@CaptainGizmo - Thank you for the video and for the additional detail. It's a great video and very valuable, IMHO.
