Color from the tube

Alphacool calls hoses the lifeblood of a water cooling system and this tubing generation its latest. Its goals when developing the range were deep, intense colors, pleasant handling and easy installation. The result is a great choice of sizes and of colors such as red, green, blue or black, and this box holds the clear one. One goal when designing these tubes was to make colored coolant obsolete, and hence to take the strain of coloring particles off the cooling loop. On the colored versions the color comes from the tubes themselves.

Bending and handling

Besides color, Alphacool names the installation and kinking properties as always an important factor in choosing tubing. Tight bending radiuses and easy handling in tricky situations were also taken into consideration during development. Hence, Alphacool says, the plastic mixture was developed to perfection. In its own words, "we have created tubing" which manages to combine usually opposing properties, to please both beginners and advanced users.

Alphacool says that manufacturing in Germany promises permanently high quality. It adds that manufacturing with years of experience ensures the best product all of the time.
