I assume he&#x27;s using the hotplate as-is with a large pan of water on top and the thermostat controlling power to the hotplate and the temperature probe in the water.<p>If Steve could continue to be a Cool Guy (sorry!) and confirm that would be wonderful because I&#x27;ve just been to Amazon to try and create a similar set-up.<p>Another implementation question: does the pump need a pipe connected to it, or is it sufficient as-is?<p>For those in the UK, here&#x27;s what I ordered:
