Re: Which kettle?

["Dr John Tankard" <jtankard@xxxxxxx>]

We have such a device in my office its made by heatray it maintains a water
supply at 98oC all the time, it is plumbed into the cold supply and stays
on
all the time, as you draw water a valve opens which replaces the water
slowly, the heater is powerful enough to keep up with the slow feed. There
is a condenser in the top of the unit to stop any steam escaping.
