Yes

How does the hand pump
Compare to the electric ones? And what's the life on the filters cause I saw those were a bit pricey?

Which filters? You replace a filter every batch. Hand pump works fine. Electric pumps are for very large batches

The filters I saw for the cups were me $45- am I thinking of the wrong ones?

Hand pump works great but keep your psi around 3
Any higher and the filters start cracking

Yes the hand pump works and you are correct Keith1569 that one should be careful how much pressure they use.

Any update how this batch is now that times gone by? Thanks!

Didnt see this Iron, but its going great actually. Using all my own home brewed items except for IP's Tren. No PIP from anything, and works like a charm.

Did you find the right filters? Just a side note, vacuum isnt measured in psi. Vacuum is measured in "inches of mercury". You should have no problem pulling 10 inches with disposable bottle top filters. The cracking comes from a combination of vacuum, and the solvents reacting with the plastic container. Sometimes they get cracks in them with no vacuum. It just looks like stress cracks. The container doesnt totally fail unless you put too much vacuum to it.
