I agree with Dodge on this point. The water is only going to move as fast as the smallest point in the loop can allow it. When going from 1/2" ID tube to 3/8" ID barbes there is resistance. Basically what ends up happening is the vilosity of the water is slowed down after the waterblock. But actually increaced through the waterblock. Which also makes more backpressure before the block. This backpressure may be restricting flow. And we could argue about it all day. But i'd just as soon have the hose the same ID as everything else.
