Thanks for the input fellas -- off to Home Depot!

Since I've moved and have different water, I noticed with the first batch in my new place the god-awful amount of chloride's they use in the water. My IPA has a pretty significant band-aid taste to it and I'd like to get rid of it. I did a search on here and found a lot of input. Some...

Thank you for your advice. Hadn't thought about setting the electrical connections at a 45 degree angle but that makes perfect sense. Now I just need to figure given what couplings I already have welded, how everything will sit on the brew stand and still allow enough room to swap hoses, etc...
