Received my 25' one today. Really impressed with the packaging and the product. Now comes with two metal bands that wrap around the coil to make sure everything stays put. The end near the "bottom" is angled up so if you want to mount this say under your brew table you can do that. I've never seen PEX used before but the inner tubing is copper so no worry. Thermal mass of wort will be slightly higher than water used in the demonstration and your local water temperature will also effect how much delta T this product is able to produce but anywhere near 1gal/min flow rate is awesome for home brewing.
Just received my Exchilerator today! Solid design. I'm looking forward to testing it out soon. Still gathering my all grain equipment. Will leave a review after I brew.
I find that device cool! (I dont understand too much about brewing and stuff). If you don't mind me asking, what is the orange thing around the cooper tube? it seems like a sticky cord. Where can I buy it? Thanks! Greetings from Colombia.
Thanks. Water was about 48 - 50 *. When that was shot I really wasn't keeping track of volumes just wanted to see if it would work. The Maxx now performs at 2.5 GPM 50 * ground water 5 gal. batch 200* to 70- 75* less than 5 Minutes.
What kind of disconnect system do you have there? I really like the red tubing and screw on/off connections! What are they called and where can you get them??

The bottom angle is for comfort assuming it will be mounted on a flat service. Thank you for your kind words.

hey, nice job, what is your ground water temp there, when this test was done, and what was the test volume, and how long did it take to chill it.?

why use a 1/4 instead of a 3/8 or 1/2 copper tube? it is more efficient? chill faster?

Hi Dan Home Depot or www.supply house.com.They are PEX fittings.You will have to purchase a crimping tool also.
Where did you find the temp gauge with the threaded end?
On a unrelated note, by any chance do you use solidworks?
My IT guy luke says we do not use solidworks it is in the works now he is a CAD programmer so he is familiar with it.
