hand Vacuum Pump, what i need more?

[789456123]

I gonna buy a hand vacuum pump, im pretty new in this homebrewing so i have a couple of questions i hope some cud answer?

1, Is it syring filter i will use to vacuum pump, right?

2, Is it difficult to use the vacum pump?

3, Is it correct to filter with the pump into the "final vial" or is it better to buy a SteriTop or a Stericup??

4. if i use a stericup, i will use pre filter, how many ml i can use with one filter?

regards

1. You can use both syringe filters and stericups with a pump

2. It works like a breeze! if you have done filtration by hand you will find a pump piece of cake

3. You can do both! Altough filtration directly to the vials takes more time and you have to be constatly watching the vials! If you filter to a large vial it's very easy! (Thks PB for some tips here)

4. I have stericups here with pre-filter too, but never used them yet! So i can't answer correctly to this, but theorically you can filter, as long as you use a pre-filter, more than the stericup's capacity

With a vacuum pump bro, you just need to watch a movie
