What PSI does it run at? I downloaded the manual, but couldn't find that information in there. If it operates at 15 PSI, it will work great.

is it necessary?

I believe so. I think at 15 PSI, all mold spores will be crushed and destroyed. Anything lower and they might survive. But you wouldn't get 100% contamination, so it isn't absolutely necessary. It would just mean that you would probably lose some percentage of cultures.

I don't know what might happen at a higher PSI. It might destroy the integrity of the media and hormones, making the plants grow less well.
