    I would suggest a ball valve as well and measure the flow in the fuge until you have about 10% of your DT’s volume per hour – it works differently for everyone, but this seems to be the consensus. With the addition of the ball valve you have the ability to tinker with your flow to find what works best for your set up.

    I’d also suggest a couple of unions, I don’t see any and of course that doesn’t mean you didn’t use any. Inevitably you will need to pull your pump for maintenance – having a union is the most convenient thing at this point in time.

    For never working with PVC before you did a top notch job – I am sure you displayed your hard work to the family with pride. Good for you.
