Haha, if he don't try to melt it with a torch, i'm fine

I wouldn't dare open mine. I might inadvertantly compromise the block's integrity with my unnecessary poking around and lose 1C or 2C, never to be recovered.

Actually the machinists didn't make as many as I had originally asked for in this first batch, which has somewhat messed up my plans. Had expected this first batch to last for 10 weeks, but it looks like it'll be gone in 2-3 weeks. Might be a 2-3 week hiccup in-between while getting the second batch on-line. After that it should be smoother sailing.

How many did he make?

More than none. Less than lots.

A lot changed in the space of a few hours after writing that post. The whole lot was accounted for in 36hrs. Even if I had the full batch size as requested, I doubt that the lot would have lasted even 60hrs.

Hmmm, not the answer that I wanted...
Did you send it to someone how will make a review? Or will that have to wait?

Ohh.. sorry!
Want to know what the interier looks like, to see if it can be made cheaper with atleast the same results... (got a phonenumber to an specialist on copperpowder manufacturing that if it can be made I'm giving the number to cathar)

Same as anything else?
Same as Cascade?
Viscosity sensitivity? (I'm not planning to use glycol but some other folks may).
I've never had a problem with algae or other slime - and have always used distilled water (usually with Zerex "Racing Coolant" at 10%). The water's not exposed to light (IMHO the major reason I haven't had algae problems). This'll be an all-copper (or brass) loop so maybe I can skip the corrosion protection package altogether...?
Particulate sensitivity? Is off-the-shelf distilled water OK or does it make sense to filter it first - and if so, with what? I don't have access to chemistry lab gear - and I'm unsure as to whether running the water through something like a Melitta coffee filter might make things worse (invisible paper fibers) rather than better.
I'm running a Eheim/Innovatek HPPS (for silence) which is essentially a 1046 with slightly-better-than-1048 head - so at the low end of what the Storm was designed for - and I'd prefer to avoid running a filter in-line if I can...
