Does anyone else have problems with airlock in the high spots of their systems? I am talking about where the dip tube in the kettles come up a couple of inches and through the bulkhead fitting then into the hose that goes to the pump. At the top it collects air and needs to be purged before the pump will start pulling. I ended up putting valves facing up on the outside of the kettle on the exit side so I can open them to release trapped air. Am I the only one with this problem and how are you all dealing with it? I haven't seen anyone with a purge valve like I have so I think I might be doing something unnecessary. I don't like the added harware and I would much rather have a cleaner looking rig in the end..
Thanks
