Home Made "soguk"

[jimz]

Hi guys , 

wanted to ask your opinion to what i am building ,

 

i saw the simple design of soguk pipe, and was just wondering if i could make something like it ,

 

 what i need :

 

pvc tube

copper / stainless pipe 

end caps for the pvc tube 

 

method :

 

drill pvc end caps so pipe can fit ( seal it with hot glue?)

seal 1 end of tube with cap

fill with water

seal the other end of the tube 

rubber hose so the MYA hose can fit 

 

refrigerate and enjoy

 

is the idea viable ?

 

thanks

a few things - remember water expands so dont fill it to the top

 

instead of water why dont you get those freeze packs - big blue plastic things - i'm not sure but i think they have a mixture to make it last longer - use that instead of water.

perfect !!! 

 

thanks for the suggestion mate , 

 

was just concerned about using copper or stainless steel

. as this forum suggest the side effects of copper in various post

but then again this is not going to be anywhere near heat , 

 

anyhoo will give it a shot and if possible will post some pics here 

 

thanks again

WHy use metal at all? I mean.. you could make the entire think out of pvc without any problems, right? small pvc inside big pvc. or just run the rubber hose on the inside of the pvc and the icepacks on the outside of the rubber hose but inside the pvc. this way you don't have to worry about the metal at all.. but then idk how well the rubber will hold up in the freezer over and over again..

 

ok.. i'd stick to the pvc inside pvc.
