i don't know how this matters, i mock other products like Polarflo, the "Clapper" but i've never tried to launch a commercial process. i dislike the idea that people may be buying an inferior product more due to bling factor than actual results using proper testing methods

seems like a very minor advantage...

two major design flaws that come to mind
1. in 6' of copper tubing, 7 coils attach the tubing to the block, only about 1/6 of each coil contacts the block. most w/c systems barely use 6' of hose in their entirety. then consider that it's 6' of continuous turn

2. he uses soldier as a TIM joint between the tubing and the plate


these seem to be significant problems but if you get one to pH and it tests well i'll take my comments back and formally apologize
