Hi Ed

Can I thank you publicly for your sealed system FAQ. Having read it I now
know the basics of how the system operates - e.g. 10 times more than I did
before.

I am now a wiser man & I appreciate the time you must have spent writing it.

Ta. It has proved one of the more useful FAQs. The BoilerChoice one was
much more difficult to write and has not been as useful.

A difficult one to advise on as designs and more importantly manufacturing
standards change so often.

I guess a good number of readers are also looking for a simpler which
style "buy this or that model" kind of guide which would probably be
impossible to write in any kind of generic way.

Indeed. Which did a test on these a couple of years ago. Very difficult to
get an unbiased/accurate recommendation from a trade source. Even our own
Geoff can't really give percentage failures.

He could if he know the installed base percentages. However his results
would also be skewed by the installed base that the larger service
companies have to deal with.

All things considered The Potty suprima has a very large installed base
but even so they have a huge fault rate.
