** PRIMOCHILL **

Got to say even though they in direct are competition with us, we've tested the primochill advance tubing and the stuff is fantastic and well worth the premium you pay for it.

Your site still has a warning against using pastel with Primochill/Tygon tubing, does this still apply to the new Primochill tubing?
 
I been using primochill for years and years. I wouldnt use anything else.
Ive used Tygon also and i do not recommend it, Nothing wrong with Primochill old or new.
Ive got a loop running here since April 2010 and its still crystal clear.

There's been many reports of problems with plasticizer leech with tubing, but primochill has been one of the worst from what I've read.

Maybe their tubing changed since 2010 which is why yours is still clear.
 
Our site needs updating, how ever we are revamping the whole site. The primochill advance tubing is perfect and we have now had it a while and it works perfect.
 
Ok so put it in last night, I have a tube at the back of the case I left as XSPC tube (did not have enough primochill). To be honest when I filled the system with red pastel you can't tell the difference even with them side by side. But when I flushed the system with DI water before the pastel you could see a massive difference with the clear water. I think with clear fluid like UV blue this would look a lot better then say xspc, but with the pastel it makes no difference, although it is better for bends as it's much harder to kink. Will get round to uploading a pic over the weekend.

Maybe the clouding would tell :confused:
 
I wish i'd seen this thread before replacing my tubing recently, maybe next time..
looking forward to seeing some pics:)
 
As promised, sorry not the best picture to compare. (XSPC is at the back going up to the 240mm rad) all the rest is Primochill. As I said before you can't tell this difference with pastel but clear fluid you would see a big difference.

Primochill ones looks more shiny to me.. :D

thanks so much for quoting the images in the post above yours.

we all missed them the first time they were posted.
 
Interesting that most of the comments in this thread are focusing on the clouding properties - for me the most intriguing bit is the low bend radius to avoid kinking (but maybe that's because I don't have a window in my case!).

But this can be solved relatively easily by getting angled adapters.
Clouding issue can't be solved as easily...
