Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that I brought home a drinking fountain that was removed from a jobsite of mine. It's the type that chills the water so I brought it home, dismantled it a bit and turned it into a 'chiller' for my res. I've just been testing it so far and it seems to work good. I connected it to an extra pump I had that I placed in the res and put the 'chiller' and pump on a timer. I replaced the thermostat on the fountain with a calibrated one and set it to 50 degrees. The cooling system only turns on when the timer is in the 'on' cycle and even then only turns on if the water running through it has warmed up. It only runs for 5 minutes so it doesn't cool 100% of the water and so far the res temp has stayed between 63 and 68 degrees steady for a week.
not too bad for a free chiller, right?
