Fermzilla floating dip tube

I bought one of these off amazon, comes with a small filter, $19

I tested it with just sanitizer in the keg and it left several inches of liquid in the bottom. I ended up using a washer to weigh it down, which seems to work fine, though I think it gets all the way to the bottom which is fine really as it will be super obvious that I need to pour it out.

My question is, does anyone else have the same experience with these floating dip tubes where they leave a bunch of liquid in the bottom and you need to weigh them down?

Yup. I have two 1.5" stainless fender washers on all of mine. The extra weight also keeps the assembly from hanging up on the side of the keg.

Curious do you use them for serving or for pressure transfers (from fermenting in keg), or both?

I was thinking of using for pressure transfer from keg fermentation but I'm not sure how to 'stop' the transfer when it gets to the 'trub' part. I suppose you just have to watch the line for cloudiness?
