Default Re: Silly Q on home made chiller, improving cameraman's design

Humm...it shouldn't be any problem. Someplace, maybe in the Caswell Plating manual or someplace it tells of using Ti. tubing in this same way. For what it's worth lead is really pretty sucky as a cathode. Aluminum is a much better material. I use pieces of 6061 plate as my cathodes. There should be no problem with the pump. If the power from the tank was able to hurt it then reverse it and think that when the pump is running itself lets say in a backyard fish pond you don't see the fish getting zapped right. I am no electric expert but I am sure those things are all protected.

LAter,
Tim
