Again, I think it doesn't matter so long as the air is evacuated.
. Agree, the longer the better
Im curious, the OP and another poster, Florida resident, mentioned having groundwater temps of 90 to 100 degrees?? Im in florida and our ground water temp is 62 degrees. Even in the dead of summer at 105 ive never had at faucet temps exceed 74 degrees.
Are you guys referring to municipal water when you say ground water or do you have your water tanks in the attic or on an asphalt slab.
If you are indeed pulling water out of the ground from your own wells and you have those kinds of temps at the spigot then your best wort temp reduction per dollar spent, might be in reducing at spigot temps by figuring out how water that comes out of the ground at 62-64 is being heated by 30-40 degrees by the time it reaches your faucet.
Just a thought.
How does this one compare BTU wise with the pool heaters? Any rough calculations?
Its probably in the neighborhood of 2.5x 200k BTU.
Hey milldoggy. Sent you a PM.If anyone else wants one, I do not use mine anymore. It works pretty good for a chiller, just prefer my stainless CFC
