I am disappointed to post my brand new $5,000 Brewha BIAC is completely ruined. I was excited about this system but I guess that old adage that if something sounds to good to be true it probably is, has played out.
During the cooling stage the interior buckled rendering the system useless. During my post failure inspection I discovered black gunk at the outlet side of the cooling port on the jacket. I believe this black FOD caused a water blockage which subsequently allowed pressure to rise in the jacket which eventually led to the jacket buckling/collapsing.
I have tried to work this out with Brewha but their position is that it was user error and there was no way this black FOD came from them or their manufacturer. I disagreed. I base my disagreement on two points: 1. This was hooked up to my faucet and I have never seen this black junk before. 2. These are manufactured in China with who knows what kind of quality control.
I hope others that have one of these systems learn from this experience and that new buyers are aware of the company's stance. Buyer beware.
