I do not have any data coming from Defkalion, e.g. re cycling, is the unit automated as my gas (methane) home heater? Last summer the entire block building - 40 two room flats, 10 stores was insulated with polystyrene blocks 20 cm thick- this winter the heating bill has halved. I will try to buy an E-cat- have to convince my wife...
I hope many E-cats had been already tested during this winter?
