matt,very interesting design, thanks for showing…maybee with a while residues in water like lime can block the system? therefore a screw on the outer end maybee could be helpful for washing out residues?

I dont know I have not had this issue yet Ill cross that bridge when it happens. To prevent it I think running CLR thru the nozzle in a bucket would clean it. If not the back up plan is simply chop the end off and clean it with a screw driver and weld on a new end.

I found a way to replace the MIG nozzle with a 4023 misting nozzle with built in filter. I’ll report on how it works when I get a chance to run some tests.

Citric acid works the fastest. Most restaurants use a few drops of lemon juice in their coffeemaker water to reduce the scale build up as they go. You could add some vinegar to your water, it is pretty cheap and shouldn’t affect the operation. but it works pretty slow so it is a few drops continuously for a long time vs CLR where it instantly eats it up. Citric acid isn’t instant but it is significantly faster then vinegar, however, it is more expensive.

Just an idea I’ve been kicking around for a while. I wonder if distillate, from charcoal making, could be fed into a charcoal gasifier, in place of water.
