helix and flexwatt??

[SnakeySnakeSnake]

one advantage to routing one piece through the rack is less connections. less connections= less possibility of bad connections/potential problems. either way done correctly is fine though. it's your choice.

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.

Wild Bill - That's something else I have to take into account is whether the design warrants the extra flexwatt or whether it would be better just to do strips and save the $ for something else... Like possibly some nice Hets for those tubs!!

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!!
