Well here's the pump working, but I think it is a bit slow so I have ordered a small geared motor to experiment with. It does shift water but I haven't tried it against boiler pressure yet...

I have found the video of the Puffer's first test under steam, taken about seven years ago. It sits nicely in the water and certainly looks the part.....

I suppose it's a bit of a cop out really I have everything bar the sensor, but once I'd spotted the ABC it was in the post before I knew it!๐๐๐

Whilst looking for a sight glass sensor I came across this chap, who makes, amongst other things, an automatic boiler controller so I took the plunge and ordered one (don't tell the missus!). The chap that builds them is most helpful, he just spent 20 minutes on a whatsapp video call explaining all the features. It has built in failsafes, and if anything needs attention, either a blue or a red led lights up, these I will route up the mast so they are easy to see. The videos on his website explain all. Once the unit arrives I post photos, videos of the unit in operation..

It is always interesting to see how other people work out challenges. I think it is one of the things that keep us motivated to dig into things and learn more. Keep us informed of your progress! Barry
