My quest for a reliable source of water for small steam engines continues. Since it turned out the very convienent Spotless Water is deionised, and therefore bad for my fittings, I have gone back to the water from our condenser tumble drier.
The only problem with this is that it's got fluff in it. Last time I tried it, I filtered it through a piece of silk, but sometimes I could see fluff in the filtered water, and it needed to go back through again.
So, I went to the supermarket and picked up some coffee filters. Like an idiot, I had to ask where they would be, and was told, in the aisle with the coffee.
Things didn't improve. I saw a number 4 on the box, and took it to be the contents. It is, but it's the size. There are actually 40 filters in the box. And I bought two.
Still, it does seem to work. I can't see any fluff getting through, so perhaps I have the solution. Let's hope so, I have plenty of filters!
