Hey Steve,
How are you planning on piping up to the ti tubing? Are you going to attempt to weld it  If so I don't believe you will have any luck.

no not wield, but I have to look into it a bit more.. there are compression fittings that are pricy but aproved for refrigeration. Also some one told me I would still be able to sweat the copper to titanium with a silver solder, but I have to look into this more.
they do it in the comercial coolers so what we need is some on who has one to tell me how they did it LOL Steve

Sounds like a brave experiment. The cold water might be enough in our climate but with summer fading I guess you have awhile to figure something out before the next long heat wave. Aren't you going for a bigger tank in your new house? You might need a lot of that tubing.
It would be cool if it worked.

Steve,
Where was this months ago!!!! What are you going to bend it with and will it bend? I have worked with 0.5" SS but not Ti. This will take some power to bend. Put me down for a section if it is possible to bend the stuff. I'll look into getting some fittings for this project. Lee

You could easily bend the tubing with a small hand held coil mandrel bender used in the heating and air conditioning industry for bending copper pipe and avoiding kinks. And it can be brazed to copper pipe fairly easily. I would try to braze it, over trying to solder it with a propane torch, but that may work fine too?
