In a word, no.
Not seen previously or even heard of.
Looks interesting so have marked for further exploration.

Viewed the vid, can't take too many issues with it....

Thanks :)
I seldom take myself seriously....

That is a good find.
A boka always struck me as the best solution, for wet stillin.

Beware you may get charged vat by the post-office when it lands.

The bigger the column the bigger the boiler needs to be.
Or put another way there is a balance between inches & KW.

Someone clever will be along soon to explain. But they MUST match too work well.

There is only so much electric in domestic wires. Much over 3000w and fall into inefficiency again.

What you seek is a sweet spot.

I personally think 100 might sound nice but will be a handful and that will take fecking HOURS to come to boiling point.

Lol.

If you get a sparky in I would suggest a separate 10mm circuit. Think cooker point or shower.

Be interested to see his choice of plug?

I was thinking it would be cheaper to install and deliver 'opportunities' for further expansion.
