How is this system for ferrous iron and metallic ordors?

The system works very Well. Except if you live in a place like on Long Island with high iron and metallic odor, it will work great but start to get stuffed up after 6 months, and you start losing pressure in your house after about 3 months. Its much cheaper than a salt based system of thousands of dollars. But know that this system will need frequent filter changes. It won't last a year, only maybe 6 months.

The iron pieces come in, if i remember this correctly four or five sections. They slide in together much like a any collapsible system. I didn't find it difficult to set up.

I set mine between 700 and 800 Deg to pour my lead bullet cores. You are talking about clean lead ingots. This furnace is not for making the ingots, ie melting lead wheel weights or dirty lead.

I have the 3.5+ and am totally pleased with it. There has been no hint of rust (maybe no steel) and certainly no sharp edges that I have found.

I like mine. I use it climbing through boilers to inspect welds almost everyday. It has held up for about 1 year now.

It does not pick up anything but ferrous metal. In order for it to work properly, I was told by the company it needs to make full contact with the item across the entire magnet area. This magnet will not pick up stainless steal or aluminum. We returned ours because it did not work properly.

I bought this one because I do a lot of ironing and like a lot of steam. I love it. I haven't used the DW6080 but one of the reasons I did not buy it were the reviews regarding it not being great for low temps and steam. I this helps!!

I love this machine. It is suitable for what it is supposed to do. I stopped using the metal racks because it was too much hassle. I leave it on because I never know when I will need it. I empty it and clean it when needed. Just use it and if you want a fancier model, upgrade.

I can't tell the difference in steel blends by looking at the material. I will say, like Pamela, ours is easy to clean and corrosion free after several months of daily use. My water is fairly neutral in pH, and low in salts. Given the amount of metal in the thing, I find it hard to believe the manufacturer would use an alloy that wouldn't stand up the household use.

Cast iron is great. A patina builds and the heat is even so that I can do three grilled cheese sandwiches at a time. The holes are for hands to get a less hot section of the iron. There is a ridge around the ironso that the grease does not flow over the edge. It is heavy and works well.

Andy;It's a great system. Most guys who start buy cheap soldering irons and become frustrated because the tip is never hot enough, unless its too hot and burns your boards. Cheap irons take for ever to heat and they don;t have the size to transfer much heat to something larger unless it goes too cold and you have to wait for the iron to heat back up. A cheap iron is frustrating. This Weller is a very good first unit. If you think you may actually use it ALOT then spring the extra and get the WES51. Its about twice the price but really is a professional quality system.

We use distilled water. I'm not sure you have to, but it seems as though it's always better for the iron. We get plenty of steam and use rather a small amount of water, now that I think of it. We're very happy with the iron.

I don't fully understand your question, but the iron heats up very quickly.

Water is what you put in the tank. This is the best iron my wife has used in 65 years.

Hammer, anvil and scrap iron will work ... Won't be pretty but that's how I used them

Yes yes and yes. I works great. Just practice with scrap to get your temp and speed right.
