I know several people who use the Opticlimate. It was specially designed for growing. I guess not originally, but hte guy who builds them saw those machines... thought of how well they would do in growing rooms... converted them a bit and gave them his own brandname.The swimming pool idea is great- and at $40k to build one I'm sure it's well within the budget of everyone! I'm teasing, of course.
When they just came to the market, he openly advetised them with slogans like "can cool a room with 6/12/20 x 600 HPS".
He sold a lot of these. Now he is not allowed to advertise in such a way anymore.
They keep your temperature exactly where you want it. During lights on, and also during lights out. It has a lightsensor.
So if you set it 28 C and 23 C, it will keep it that way.
It also dehumidifies. During the day especially. But the newer ones also during the night.
It also heats up you room if needed. It has some kind of heating-panels inside.
Perfect for growers. But not cheap. Also heavy equipment. And too much electronics for me. So if things go wrong, you have to get it off the ceiling and bring it to someone who can repair it.
I know 1 guy who uses one and he does not cool with tapwater but with his pool. It is one of those cheap pools that you can buy for a few hundred bucks. Big enough for him. Another uses a river or canal that is near his house.
