question about pumps and chillers.

[twobears]

Those of you using a single tier system, are you using rheostats on your pumps to control sparging or just adjusting the flow at the valve? Which type of wort chiller is the most efficient? Copper tube type counterflow or plate chillers?

Use a ball valve on the exit of the pump.
I had a therminator plate and dis-liked it, it was a pain to clean. When I built my new rig I used a chillzilla and really like it so far. (only two brews)
