I also have the RB 15. New to me this year, yes learning curve but I think I have it dialed in now after running 2000 gallons through it. 3 things I learned, Keep the pickup filter clean coming out of barrel,
don't try using if its colder than 30 as slush build up in the lines and also make sure inlet house is fully inserted into fitting on bottom of bucket or you don't achieve the 100-120 lbs. of pressure. I've been changing my bucket filter every 400 gallons or so.
Have Fun.
