Nice coil! You have one more wrap than mine and a little more length. A 1.5 gpm flow is likely way more than you will need while running, you must have a great pump.
Do you have a top slant plate? Hard for me to tell from the photos. It should be about an inch above the take-off plate if you are using a 2" column.

Yep, both plates are in there. I based the flow off my outdoor spigot, the first coil I made didn’t flow great so I made this one. I read the ideal height is 36”- 48” and this one is 48” to the bottom plate, but this is type M copper (I got it for a deal) and heavy. I’m wondering if reducing it to 24” would have make it too inefficient. Sifting thru some of the threads I’ve read it both ways, longer being better and shorter working just fine but I would love a little input from anyone.
