Posted Sun Nov 1, 2009, 2:50pm Subject: Looking for a verdict on whether or not to back flush a Sivia.
The jury is out...I've read a couple accounts on back flushing a Silvia. One guy said he did it regularly for like 3 seconds. Someone else, (maybe on another site) wrote that it's not a good thing for Silvias. As the manual for the Silvia is pretty much an unpacking guide, I was hoping I might get a definitive answer on whether or not I should back flush. Thanks!!

Absolutely back flush, as vigorously and frequently as possible. She'll either be really clean, or you'll break her, requiring an upgrade to a Vivaldi. Either one is a total win.
