Room temp Sparging
Normally I am a no sparge brewer however I threw together a sparge rig to be able to use tap(RO) water directly out of the faucet. Since I have a HERMS I can ramp the HLT to 200f, and then start to sparge( pretty much like a Fly hybrid), and allow the HERMS to heat/keep the mash where it needs to be at mash out.
I chose that orientation for a reason, this forces the water to go up and make sure the daisy wheel on the Flow meter still spins at any water flow rate.
I have pressure sensors already but I used them to test the Flow meter, and the flow meter is pretty accurate considering it was ~$15 on amazon. A great addition to the brewery if you want an easy way to track water volumes for the brew day.

Re: Room temp Sparging
Are you still doing this sometimes or was this before the extreme low O2 realization? Or do you keep your RO deaerated?

Way before. Anything on this forum that predates December 2015 is to be taken with a grain of salt
If you always do what you've always done, then you'll always get what you've always gotten.

Indeed. I still use it to back up my flow sensors as a "manual indicator".
