I ended up breaking a pipe fitting trying to fix a small leak in the crystal chiller path, right next to the water filter on the return path. This was a pretty complex piece of piping (several fittings in a row) so instead of repairing the blue LXT pipe, Gerardo and I hooked up a length of red hose between the valve and water filter. This worked, but the flow sensor for the powermeters kept reading 0 and tripping the chiller - this happened last time as well. Kiwamu and I went inside to diagnose this and fix it. The first thing we did was to try and bleed the circuit by removing the supply hose to the box on the oscillator end for the powermeters, but when I tried to hook it back up, either the female quick connect fitting got stuck in the open position or some internal part came off on the male end. Either way about a quart of water started flowing onto the table, thankfully towards the edge of the table and not to the optics. We cleaned that up, filled the chiller, and got it running again. We did have to bleed this line once more, but this time we disconnected the hose from the manifold, not the oscillator box. This looks like the way to fix the problem - likely it's clearing an air bubble. The laser was then restarted.
