Home Distiller

I wanted to take a poll. I have run my flute a few times and I am trying to get a good idea of how I want the coolant to run. Do i split the input to the RC and PC, do i run the RC from the PC out... so many possibilities. I originally started with this...
For my last run I ran the RC in from the bottom... so non-counter current flow. This seemed to be more responsive to changes in the power as well as changes to the RC inflow.

I know there are a lot of possibilities out there, just looking for thoughts.

I have one water line in then split it one to the RC and one to the PC with separate valves. This gives me more control over the operation. Both mine are counter flow.

Thank you Sir!
