cooling water bath

[Laura_Campbell]

My water cooling system is similar to Bill's. The cold water here runs very hot during summer and the ice chest/water/coiled hose system works great, and cools fast. I use a few plastic sports bottles filled with frozen water in place of ice.

Hey Brian,

Good luck it'd be great to know if you find a real chiller. I added an extra hose between the faucet and sink, coiled it up and tied it with zip ties. In the summer, when I want 68* I put the coil in an ice chest with water and a bag of ice. At a reasonable low flow rate I can cool tap water (or tap water with a little hot) to 68*. I suppose a copper coil would do better.

I did find one for 119.00 and you mount it in a plastic tub, like the old petersons cooling bath in the 70's , but i foudn that i can putt he 64oz jugs prewash water and dev in teh fidge for 25 minutes and it gets it to 70 degrees so Im thinkin that should be good enough for now.. thanks for the reply and thank you to all who have replied
