I have read lots of threads about chillers and have decided to try an immersion chiller first. Looking at the prices I got quoted from Tradelink and another mob up here for 18m of 1/2 inch pipe the CFC would be cheaper, they wanted $150 to $170 for a roll!
One of the threads I read mentioned a mob called polyaire and had a link to this price page: polyaire prices The thread was a while ago but still looks like 18m of 1/2" is $72 from them. Gave the Virginia,Bris polyaire a ring and they confirmed the price but said it was a lot thinner than the stuff plumbers use which I have used a lot for my herms and other things. I know the 1/2" olives snug up well to the plumbers stuff.
Anybody used the thin walled a/c copper for an immersion chiller? If so, how does it go with fittings and what's it like to bend etc?
Cheers
