According to an Iowa State University study, they showed that to achieve a .15% total glycerol requirement at 80° F took 4 hours & 30 minutes. While heating the reaction to the proper temperature achieved the same thing in fewer than 45 minutes. Therefore heat is important, as is the ability to run the pump longer than 1 hour at times. We give you a chart with proper temperatures & times.
