  With the evaporative cooling, just make sure you can't hear the running water from your bedroom. You will be getting up every 10 minutes to pee........

  Get an old refrigerator.
  Put a coil of copper tubing inside.
  Drill a hole in either side of the fridge to connect a hose to the copper tubing on each end.
  Plug it in.
  Voila!

  Easy now drkptt, chemistry is not thermodynamics, fountains and waterfalls work quite well despite humidity and ambient temps...just sayin

  
  An important part of chemistry is thermodynamics. Not sure what you're just sayin' about fountains and waterfalls and what that has to do with Fishhaid's radiator.
  
  I think he knows the answer to his question and threw it out as a 'gotcha' to see what the replies would be.

  Great, now I'm gonna have to hire a shaman for my pool remodel!

  
  Polar can pass for a shaman but he's going to have to get real drunk, put on the storm trooper gear, and recite Jim Morrison poetry. It won't be pretty, but if the force is with him, he can pull it off.

  We use a closed loop, coils for our geothermal A/C. Look it up.
  
  I'm shocked none of you have seen this.

  BTW, it isn't a special fluid. It's water and glycol. Which is also in my tractor tires.
  
  Very efficient, but you need to be a bit below your frost line, which is what, a half inch there? Maybe well below it.

  I know, I went to Jacksonville one year and it was snowing! Hated that!
