10 psi PC, contemplating 15 psi rocker weight.

Hey guys so I have a Mirro 8qt PC simple with red spring and rocker weight set for 10 psi. It says its maximum operating pressure is 10 psi and maximum safety pressure is 26 psi. So not sure if I should get a heavier rocker as well as the fact I can't seem to get exact model piece.There is the 92115 rocker on amazon but my model is a 92180CA but it looks like it'll work.
I do understand I can just PC for longer and I have done my due diligence in trying to search for an answer but I just want to know for safety reasons as well. Any advice would be appreciated although I'm most probably gonna order it to try it anyway its not even 10 dollars for the rocker but would it be ok as in my PC isn't going to explode on me...right?

Sell the PC, buy a big one that can handle 15 psi. Don't cut corners with your PC, this is your most important tool.

I used to use a 10 psi got contam bout 50% of the time. moved to a larger model that could handle 15 psi. only get contams bout 5% of the time. It is worth the money and the effort to get a new one. I would not recommend getting a different rocker. anything under pressure can be dangerous. More so when you start manipulating them.

How long were you PCing for? A lot of what I read is fine with extra time..

You just have to make sure account for the less PSI with more time. 90 mins of 15 psi = 1350. x mins of 10 psi = 1350. 1350/10 = 135. 135 mins @ 10 psi.

I dunno if that's quiiite enough. Sometimes I'm not even 100% positive that 120m of 16psi is enough for some stubborn endos. If I were doing 10psi I would probably go a full 3 hours, to start with.

I definitely know my math isn't the exact equation needed. I was just throwing proportionate ratio's of time and PSI.

Could be technically correct for all I know, I'm just saying I would do it longer, since I always do 2 hours due to the added benefit over 90 minutes.

Always better to be safe than sorry. Especially in this hobby.

But yeah, OP, get an AA so you can adjust the weight for an extra 2-3 PSI without fearing for your life. If you wanna toy with higher PSIs you want the best of the best so you don't get your head blown off up into the attic.

10 psi is fine. I've actually done 90 minutes at 10 psi several times without issue but in general I try to make it a full 2 hours for good measure.

Till I find an example with someone using my model with a different weight I'd most prob just use 10 psi for 2 hours or more. Wonder how much water I'll need.
