His original posting in another thread said he was running 25PSI suction with similar head pressures to what he has today. 25PSI is low. Normal suction pressure is 35-45PSI depending on ambient temperature and load on the system. Low side pressure by itself is useless, it has to be factored with head pressure, ambient temperature, and load on the system to be a valuable number.
