I cannot tell you the range, but the times I used it I did 60 PSI and it worked great. Never tried higher or lower so I cannot tell you for sure.
I think my bucket list has a hole in the bottom!

First, never use higher than the rating on your pressure pot!!!! Obvious ... I know but very dangerous if taken for granted. Second, make sure you have a properly working safety release valve that will pop before the rating on the tank is ever reached.

Now to the question ... 35-45 psi is typically enough pressure to make Alumilite Clear or Water Clear completely bubble free.

Thanks...my pot is rated at 80lbs and 35-45 sounds good and safe.
