FAQs
Can I use this on an induction stove?
This unit is primarily designed for gas, ceramic, or firewood heating. Induction compatibility depends on whether the bottom material is ferromagnetic; please check your specific stove's requirements.
What is the maximum capacity of the boiler?
The boiler has a total capacity of 8.5 UK gallons (approximately 38.6 liters).
Does this kit come with everything I need?
The kit includes the main boiler, condenser, and necessary silicone tubing. You may need additional external components like cooling water pumps depending on your setup.
Is the thermometer accurate?
The built-in thermometer is designed for general distillation monitoring; for extreme precision, some users prefer to supplement with a calibrated digital thermometer.
How do I safely store the unit?
Ensure the unit is completely dry inside and out, then store in a well-ventilated area to prevent moisture buildup within the condenser coils.
Troubleshooting
Temperature readings not changing
Check the thermometer probe connection and ensure the sensor tip is fully submerged in the vapor space.
Leaking at connection points
Ensure all silicone gaskets are properly seated and tighten clamps securely without over-torquing.
Slow output flow
Check the cooling water flow rate; increase water pressure or ensure the condenser inlet is not blocked.
