I replaced the water out fitting with a Garden Hose Fitting (shipped with the Plate Chiller) plus a 75 foot hose that I picked up on the cheap. I needed to get all of the chiller water from (an outside) room near the front left of my house to the only outside drain near the back right of my house - Filling up various pots with water (and then lifting those pots of water) using the old setup just wasn't cutting it for me.

I didn't time it exactly but brewing last Saturday - 1/20 - I got boiling wort down to 60 (TOO COLD!) in about 3 minutes - gotta love January ground water!
