I have another boiler lined up which has a 4" ferrule wich will allow me a 4th plate + packed section. I will just put this in with next lot :handgestures-thumbupleft:

How many watts can you throw at it now?
How well was it able to hold 100% reflux the first time?
You may have to swap the plates for scoria

I also thought the neutralizer had a 4" packed section?
Have you run a bubbler with the packed section below the plates? How does it go? I would have thought the packing would get a bit filthy being below?
