still
A still is an apparatus used to distill liquid mixtures by heating to selectively boil and then cooling to condense the vapor. A still uses the same concepts as a basic distillation apparatus, but on a much larger scale. Stills have been used to produce perfume and medicine, water for injection (WFI) for pharmaceutical use, generally to separate and purify different chemicals, and to produce distilled beverages containing ethanol.
Why am I not surprised?

My Mother-in-law was quoted £1,000 by British Gas to do a power flush on her system as her rads aren't performing well.
I was wondering, as 4 radiators need to be upgraded to doubles, would this need to be done if they are drained off and replaced?
How does one actually know it needs a power...
I posted in summer as HW system banged when cooing down it is now even worse once CH is cooing down but it's common between both systems any ideas folks, desperate now.

I bought a new place in November which had been installed with a new Gledhill ES 150 l stainless steel unvented cylinder in March of this year. On...

Hi all,
A friend of mine no longer needed a one year old condensing gas boiler so I took it off his hands and left it in storage for the last 2 years until I needed it. The time has come to replace my old boiler with the one that is in storage but when I was speaking with a plumber about...
Obviously somewhere is wrong here, but where is it please?
My timer is off one hour already, but the boiler is till operating, cylinder is operating, the central pump is still burning hot, the gas meter is still running numbers!!!
Anyone please help why this is?

Mine is a two storeyed house. The groundfloor toilet and first flower shower are at same alignment.
About two months back, I cleaned my shower drain like this in the video:
Unfortunately, when I removed the siphon, the left out water (about 1 litre) around the area started draining. For...

Hello folks - first post here.
Last week our faulty Honeywell ST6100C programmer was replaced by a ST9100C, this being the Honeywell-recommended replacement. Our regular heating engineer did the swap because the backplate was stuffed, so a simple DIY clip-on swap wasn't possible (by me at least...
Hi, I've seen and heard several people actively discouraging fitting rads under windows with some claiming it as a 'last resort'.
I get their logic but I think its misplaced.
I still reccomend placing under windows as I want to eliminate draughts and believe that having the air curtain and heat...

Question for the plumbers turned gas engineers.
Do you still carry out plumbing repairs, bathroom installations, etc. I still do but getting fed up of being stuck on a bathroom job and losing the gas work as I'm fully booked. Been gas safe for around 5 years now.
Took someone on to do the...

A few months ago, our bath tap began to leak. No matter how hard we turned the taps off (which we later learnt causes further damage) it would still leak, and gradually got worse over time. We...
Tried running the hot tap then checking to see what the water temp of the drip was after and it was cold so to me that means the leak is from the cold water valve side. Replaced the cold water ceramic disc cartridge but the drip is still there (even when I turn off the mains but don't fancy...
