Hi Moreno, 
    I'm using the bottom fill technique that MIS advocates (using the blunt
plastic attachment -no needle).  Would this blunt attachment also damage the
1 micron screen?
    They claim that bottom filling gives fewer air bubbles.
    I can't say for sure that this is working to stop bubbles, as I seem to
get the occasional one either way.
