| There is actually a thread on the Modeboatmayhem site at the moment where one of the members describes how to make your own boiler level controller.
To keep the plant relatively simple I have opted not to bother with boiler level control though and I am relying on a manual pump to do that. The thinking being that I am going to have to come in every half an hour or so anyway for the purpose of pumping out the seperator tank so I am going to use that time to also pump up the boiler.
Level control does not seem to be the most reliable with the ones that use the sight glass for level feedback, such as the Cheddar unit, quite often gets confused by air bubbles in the glass. I believe the one on Mayhem uses a differrent level feedback system though so it may well be worth looking into.
