Thanks for that, I guess I'll skip the trip to Lowes.

I personally believe there is more stress on the system turning on and off all the time. I considered the timer for the summer time to cut down on the extra heat but no worries with a good machine either way.

I see your machine has the back pressure relief valve so you should have no need to open the steam valve to release the false pressure. I really want to add this, kind of silly the oscar doesn't have it since I believe it is only a $15 part. Really looks like a nice machine, enjoy the polishing .
