A mate of mine just picked this up:

What on earth is that? It came from a sports club, it's a giant water cooler.

You can see that there's threaded inlet and outlet on the back as well as emergency overflow. It's all stainless steel, inner insulated chamber is about 700L will removable clamp down stainless lid and ball valve for setting water level. Underneath is all the compressor and associated electrical and gas bits. We don't think it's even been used by the look of it, it's basically brand new, and the workings underneath look like quality components.. So new in fact that the stainless doesn't even have fingerprint marks..

Cost? Nothing, come and pick it up before we take it to the tip, it's in the way.... :shock:

Man what a score.. Though I think it may be heavy on the juice, 11.5 Amps according to the plate, and it has a 16 amp plug. I'm hoping my mate isn't going to be able to use it or fit it at his place, if not I have first dibs on it..

He wanted to use it to brew cider in, but I've pointed out to him that he need 20 degrees or above for that... Useless for brewing, bloody good to cool fish water though... And hows that, you can use the taps on the front to collect water for water testing... :laughing3: Fingers crossed...... :headbang:

@ $13/day to run they'll be the most expensive trout going around :think:

You can keep it :)

Though I must admit, it's a pretty good score! I'm sure you'll find a use for it.
