Yep! sounds like you nailed it first run... it's neutral alright as you've described it :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Just goes to show people can run these rigs straight up after "a little" research :romance-kisscheek:

I just followed Running a plated column.the easy way and was suprised at how well the run went , the still performed flawlessly felt very comfortable running it could not be more happy.

Thanks to Mac and Mrs Mac for there excellent service and of course all you guys that make this forum happen. :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Not sure how accurate the alcometer is but it read %93 @ 13 deg so temp corrected makes it about %95 does that seem right to you?

Been a few questions relating to boilers recently.
Was wondering if it was worth pinning a couple of builds to the top of the first page?

This is a good thread for an electric boiler build. :handgestures-thumbupleft:

What do you think Mac?

I'll have a minute today, DBV, I'll whip up an 'Ultimate Boiler Build' thread for the newbies section... Covering gas and electric :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Unless someone else wants to have a go? We DO have a 'best post' competition running at the moment!
