Water Flow direction

Postby reeser » Tue Apr 14, 2015 10:30 pm

Does anyone know if there is a preferred direction for the water flow in a Laser Tube?

That is Cathode-Inlet, Anode-Outlet or the reverse.
I can't imagine it makes a difference but thought I would ask.

Thanks
Dick

Thanks for the info.
I appreciate it.

My build is about complete. I will find out this weekend if everything works.
My final "plumbing" parts should arrive today :D
