... or the manifold is not done right you will get channelling. slow the recirc and
look for signs of channelling when you drained the tun.
...

How have you set up the MLT drain? Manifold, false bottom, braid, ...?

If manifold, probbly best to look at Tun Geometry and Flow Potential
from Palmer's book if you haven't already.

Thanks Malty.

I have a single loop manifold in my MLT. Based on the Palmers link i have applied the appropriate logic...phew.

ATM i am also using voile to line my MLT in the instance of a stuck recirc or sparge and for a few other reasons. It appears to be working well.

Good read, thanks
