[QUOTE="Anonymous-Coward, post: 103877, member: 6643"] Car 54 is correct. The Reimers line is the very best. We have the 240v. model. We never turn it off except for service. It's on 24/7. It goes from cold to 80psi in less than 5 minutes. I open the pressure vessel once a year to clean the mud out, and the solenoid and electrical contactor seems to need replacing every couple of years. A simple machine to work on, the parts are available a Grainger or McMaster-Carr, and are inexpensive, and it hooks into the building's water supply. The supply of 80psi steam is endless. You can stand on the switch all day and it never dips below 80. We've had one for 12 years, and the first significant issue we had was last year. An electronic component failed and caused the manual relief valve to dump the pressure. Have ever seen 80psi of steam dump through a 1.5 inch opening? In the world of steam that is pretty small time stuff, but it makes a helluva noise, fills the entire room with steam, and scares the pee out of everyone close to it. (I may be the only person in the lab that thought it was funny) It's a work horse. [/QUOTE]
