Thanks

A few reasons:
1: The coil would take up a lot of space in the sump that Hightower did not have.
2: If the coil was in the sump, there would be no way to control the flow rate. I wanted to be able to adjust as many variables as possible with this system as it was my first one and I wanted to be able to tweak it if need be.
3: Stainless steel will corrode if alternately exposed to saltwater and air. By putting the coil in a barrel, we ensure that it will be submerged at all times.
4: It's cooler
