    As far as I was aware, it is only possible to use 1/4 tubing with those units.

    Maybe you could use a y-split/reducer to go from 1/2-1/4.

    The barbs on those wb are 1/4 and cannot be swapped for something larger, at least not without replacing the blocks altogether.

    The design seems to work decently, if only average, compared $$$=$$$ to other WC loops.

    A bit on the expensive side too. There are two reviews of similar CoolIT stuff on hardwarecanucks.

    When using a chiller flowrate/tube size is less of an issue.

    You should have told him to not buy it in the first place
    Could have gotten a cheap single stage instead!
