Hi all, For my HERMS I ended up using a copper coil as the ones that I've seen here. What can I use to clean it ? Is Napisan ok with copper? Please suggest products components or international available brands since I'm in Italy. Thanks for your help Al

Wow, I found this thread very impressive. This idea fits the gap between RIMS and HERMS. I want to build one. I have a couple of questions and possible modifications. I can find a boiler heater element like the one in the picture it's 1200W and there is a tube to insert a thermostat. I was...
