Awesome. What made you decide to do a vertical tube.
The more horizontal the tubes the slower the flow and the more the heads, hearts and tails mix with each other. That is if I were to ever make proper moonshine.

All holes closed and sealed tight, feel like a gynaecologist now....

@Raindance solder or silver solder?
Your becoming a proper surgeon now. Nice.
I was thinking the same thing, lead based is a "no no" for stills.
That def's looks like plumbers solder to me.
Got two of these , so it is up in the loft tomorrow.

You got a solar panel?
Nah, these are the TSE controllers for the normal geyser. I actually have two geysers in my house as there is a small flatlet. I previously installed a TSE onto my hybrid system. I have a 200 L solar geyser on the roof which feeds my 150 L in the roof. Now I am going to install one in the flatlet and one in my rental townhouse.
Brilliant piece of kit by the way, very easy to install and saves me plenty.

After a long search, I managed to lay my hands on 2 of them in the last few months. The one is in a decent condition but the other is closer to 5/10 with scratches all over the side panels and was considering to strip/polish it too. Some advice will be highly appreciated.
Well all I can say is it works a treat. I don't have one where I reside now ,but had one in the previous flat. Summertime we didn't need to switch it on at all and winter time we had it on at a minimum.
Thanks @Resistance ,will definitely look into it.
The good thing about the process is that the mod disassembly is quite simple,and the internals can be removed as one piece.
Best video I found was this russian one.
(Disassembly starts at around 3:50 I think)
Then just paint stripper gel,followed by fine grit sandpaper and fine steel wool. Lastly I used a scouring pad.
(I forget who,someone on the forum suggested the pad,and it works really well. Thanks someone.)
Note: Take care when removing the plastic screen cover. The two clips are tiny and I’ve seen on some forums they can snap off if one is not careful.
Then finally,like I said,fingerprints and fine scratches will be an issue.
@Resistance posted a good possible remedy above.
Hope it helps!

I know there's also a car polish with this property. I can't recall. Think Meguiar's makes it. The stuff I posted is oleophobic treatment used on cell phone screens so it might be available locally at a cell phone repair shop.
Version 0.979547. Just a few more improvements and V1.0 will be a reality. Promise. Basically build about four setups, each time stuff hits the fan and back to the drawing board.

You'll probably get a better copper price if you register as a "builder".
Salvaged what I could from a 150l geyser. Down to 23 litres now. Perfect actually. Spent all day building a base for it.You'll probably get a better copper price if you register as a "builder".
Just a few tweaks still needed.
