Hi Mark.

You can get peristaltic pumps on the 'bay reasonably cheaply. Do a search for 'condensate pump' or 'Aspen peristaltic'. I got one a couple of years ago for a tenner. For the last week it's been pumping dilute citric through a crudded-up coffee machine heat exchanger.*

Sorry, rambling again. Where did I put the Jaffa cakes?

The ex-commercial ones get really badly scaled. Citric is a really good, food-safe descaler and is gentle with copper boilers and HX's; you just have to be patient, which is where the peri pump helps.

I would never knowingly so abuse any Jaffa Cake in my care.
