My water never gets above 85 so I don’t burn my extract… I use a regular cheap pump from harbor freight. It was 40-60 bucks can’t remember

How long does it take to heat up?

Look at step 5

It holds 45 lbs of solvent to 90 no problem.

for less than another $100 you could use black-pipe to hold the water heater element, and rubber heater hose to put the sources of ignition on the other side of a wall…or at least 20ft away from your solvent tank.

there are pictures around here somewhere.

if you use black pipe, you can then use a standard hot water heater thermostat as your over temp protection.

if you want to get more fancy, glacier tanks sells tri-clamp adapters that will take a hot water heater element, so you can make a nice shiny version for less than $300.

I was going to use stainless tri clamp everything they have the inch and a half triclamp heater elements on Amazon as well but I figured cheaper is better and my “lab” is outside as well.
