With shipping added in, this chiller is the same price and looks a little better shaped IMO.

Or this one perhaps with better fittings, but no hose...

What GPH is the pump you are using?

It's the one that's right around 400

I made a chiller from 20' of 3/8 copper (26.00 at lowes) this week. Bought one clamp for the 3/8 ID plastic hose I already had and a 3/8 dishwasher connector with compression fitting which has hose connector on other end (5.00) It took about 10 minutes to tighten the coil around a pot I had in the kitchen that fit in my brew kettle and attach the connector. Simple and cheap and it worked well.
