Are you just after the valve that connect to the house tap or something different ?

G'day Andrew, it seems according to Still Spirits that they have released a buffer bottle with pump, float valve and flow adjuster for the T500. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZBsOL8Qksw

The flow controller you mention works well, but I have since set up a recirculating system and the pump I use gives a consistent supply so I don’t use that anymore. If your supply of water comes from your house then the flow controller will take out any fluctuations due to washing machine, toilet, thirsty teenagers and the like.

Drop a small pond pump into your toilet cistern?

Edit... Ok that solution might cause some friction in the house... sorry dear, no toilet for 6 hours :laughing-rolling:

I use it. I would recommend it as it gives you much better control.

Love it ... now I just have to be brave enough to try. In the meantime I hope Andrew comes up with a "ball park" price.

Hi
I have a 12volt low pressure pump wired and 2x 205 liter plastic tanks does the job doubles the capacity of cold water self syphons from bottm of 2nd tank into 1st as water level drops and warm water sits on top you can adjust flow rate , and has a bypass tap ,so I still utilise original control valve

Maximum temperature variation over four hours has been 1.2C which is probably the rise in mains water temperature as the day gets hotter. A very good addition.
