you want more room if using 1/2" copper

Home Depot or Lowes should have 3/4" hoses.

you can only cool down to your tap water which for me in Tyler this summer was 80°F. I use a cfc with 20ft of 3/8" Cooper. If building another one I'd use 1/2" Cooper.

I now have a pond pump I bought at ace hardware for about $25. I use the cfc until I get down to 85ish then I hook up the pond pump that is submerged in ice water and recirculate it.

I do the same method and it works well. I also whirlpool in the kettle with a pump.
