Less connections also means that if your one connection happens to go bad, you lose heat to the whole rack instead of just one row.

so you might notice the problem quicker than losing just one level/tub. 2 sides to a coin i guess. i just follow basic mechanical layout like in electrical,plumbing,hvac,framing most designs use the least amount of joints/splices/junctions in construction. just my thoughts.

Another thing, I have heard some people that "snake" a continuous piece of flexwatt complain of a large difference in temps from the beginning and the end of the flexwatt. Some as many as 5 degrees. Just some food for thought.

Thanks I'm usually pretty hungy for thought food, especially from all the nice folks on here!! ;)
