OK I think I'm with turtle with this one but some differences....

First off 2L of water in the reactor 118v and 1.2 amps....This was again hot hot water out of my tap....

Second add some Lye....Nice pulling 4amps to start, let that run for a while. Start seeing some quick blue flashes quite a few this was at 2 amps....Water is alot hotter...

Sorry don't have a temp probe for this....

Third Take the rod out and expose more surface area...First was 1/8 inch...Now it was at 1' rod exposed in the ss globe. Plug er in again Now were pulling 7amps...this Drops down to 3 amps in 2min...Man that water is getting hot fast...starting to see again some quick blue flashes and then very few orange flashes not many though.....

Forth I let this run for about 20min the amps went down to 1.2amps still some quick flashes but nooooo orange ones anymore....

What is going on...

Had to stop the test because my box was starting to contort and distort from the heat of the water...

Should I have let this thing cook some more? I didnt want ta get burnt...lol

Just went back out to take a look at the rod and well sheees a little cleaner but thats about it..not eaton in anyway...

again this is the build...That ss globe is about 1.5inch round and I am using a 1/8 rod with heat shrink on it.

Right also forgot to mention that this unit was humming like a son of a ...... at 7 amps then seemed to quiet down a bit...not much though. But still humming louder than at 4 amps.

There was also a stream of gas bubbles coming off of the negative electrode...lots of em.

Well my cfr is leaking again like a siv.....need to find a new container. Besides for using ss doeas anyone have another idea. It cannot be conductive (I want to live some more) but needs to be able to handle a hole-lota heat....

What about a 6" X 1' PVC pipe? Does PVC handle heat?

any other ideas?

HKyle, I don't know if it's made in 4 to 6" diameters, but you could use CPVC, which is what is being used in new home construction for the hot water pipes as well. It's rated to 200 degrees F, I used it within the last year for my downstairs apartment, and haven't had any problems. One thing I will tell you, cpvc cement is alot different from pvc cement, in that pvc... you can still move it around for a few seconds once the joint is together, cpvc... you had better have in mind exactly how far on you need to push the end plug, cap or what ever, it bonds INSTANTLY.... and I mean INSTANTLY. Yes, I had to do my piping job twice, due to it's unforgiving nature.
Hope this helps sir,

I started out using one of those heavy duty clear plastic filter housings . It worked for a little while but started to degrade . Cracks formed up the sides of the housing . It never leaked but they got pretty bad .The whole case also started to become cloudy looking.

So now I use the 316 stainless steel version . Like this rated at 300F

I would like to get one of these things some day and do a triple stage unit.
If I do I will make sure I post its construction this time before its all tucked up under the Motorhome.

I am not sure about CPVC as I have never seen it larger than 1" pipe
