30 ltr Boiler for £70

[Icefever]

Love the still....is that a GF boiler??...what size is the column??

I must say Benoit...you really need to see the dentist matey..

The only markings on that boiler that aren't in Chinese are a little sticker on the bottom that gives the electrical information & its capacity (a rather odd 27 litre). It only cost me a tenner & that bowl was from wilko I think, cost nearly as much as the boiler! Alas no not a GF, a simple tea urn.
I bought some silicon hose which I cut down 1 side & put that round the top of the boiler, then just sit the bowl on top & pull the toggle latches tight. The arm & column is all 54mm with multiple ferrule connections in to make storage easy & gives flexibility on set up, makes removing the thumper easy & I like to try different angles to see if any mild reflux occurs or makes a difference....can't tell yet!
It all comes apart & fits into a hold all though so that's the best bit, easy to keep together & move if necessary

Why Ice...do I have something in my teeth?!

What is the diameter of the bowl from wilco please?

Wondering if it would make a good 'lid' for a boiler I have.

[Benoit]

28cm from wilko, if my memory does anything useful these days there's one slightly smaller in tesco at 26cm. This wasn't obvious to me but they include the lip at the edge & not just the functional area of the bowl if that makes sense, the lip isn't much but was bigger than I first anticipated & forced a change in how I got it to sit on the top. Also wilko is way cheaper, just checked the website & they're only £2. I'm sure i paid a fiver but hey ho!


These will also come in handy!

If you read the Amazon reviews, the clamps may not be needed, the lid closure may have been changed on the lead item.
This does look good to me, and I am tempted to buy for a spare or new project.
