There's always the home built design in Gert Strands "carbon filtering e-book". Which is basically a straight version of the original SS "z" filter.

Sure, just the filter part and no buckets etc, but I'm pretty sure we've enough ingenuity to work round that.........

Hell, the buckets that come in the Z filter kit are just 2 buckets (one with a tap) and 2 lids (one with a filter drain hose sized hole in it.

Pyro has re-asked my original question as I intended it, and Toper fulfilled my need with the link he posted.

Thanks both.

The starting point was the unavailability of Essentia spares.

*It appears that Essencia filters are out of stock. Period. Everywhere.*

As for:

*Is the Essencia filter still being manufactured.*(?)

I would have thought that such a question would best be addressed to Essentia themselves.

To put the original question simply.

Is the Essencia filter still being manufactured.

I made the local HBS aware of my take on Mozr's AirStill guide. Next thing I know, they've blogged it on their website. There *is* good in the world!

Speaking of good, I bought a replacement Essencia from the supplier Toper flagged up. Ordered late last night and it's going to be here tomorrow. I may become a regular if that's their customer service standard! Thanks again for the heads-up, Toper.

Cheers

I think I'm with ED on this.

Given that the Seller will have been gleaned a lot of correct information from this forum, at minimal cost, a sheet couple of A4 sheets of more useful instructions would benefit the Buyer whilst enhancing the Seller's reputation.

Knowing the manufacturer's instructions are as bad as we all know they are, not to include such additional information as well as, not instead of, would seem deceitful to some extent.

I recently purchased some yeasts. Somebody had taken the trouble to make a hand written note on the included delivery document, indicating optimum temperature range. This information was not on the yeast packets. This attention to detail was much appreciated.

No sure about that one.
The local car dealer doesn't rewrite the owner manual, but will often give good advice.

If a seller replicates shit producer instructions to make a shit product, for a profit, then I will tar them with the same brush.

Don't know about that as I haven't had a new SS for at least a decade. Are the instructions not down to the manufacturers.

A trusted seller, but still selling Smart Stills with single run then drink the product instructions the last time I checked.
Such a shame.

Hey ho.

Thanks for the heads-up, Toper - I was struggling to find the complete unit anywhere. My local HBS has been unable to source it for months..
