DIY Vacuum Degasser

Ideas to improve it

  1. Make the vacuum chamber larger diameter = more water processed each cycle and larger surface area to disperse micro bubbles.
  2. My fill flush is on the return , so not the hottest part of the system, better to connect to flow.
  3. If you don’t have separate fill and flush valves then should be possible to use fill only valve , with the feed to and from the degassed teed together as close as possible to the fill valve.
  4. Put a Willis heater in the inlet pipe , so water can be got nice and hot without thrashing the heatpump. Maybe some safety concerns?? PRV needed etc.
