It's winter now and I have a 3 foot crawl space, I put my air under the home. Also I meant on my last suggestion, use dry ice in a old fridge and put air pump and dry ice into fridge
  1. Air tube
    Dorm refrigerator
    or basement or outdoor area that's col
    Open fridge
    Drill pencil sized hole
    Place pump in fridge
    Pump cold air I. To dwc
    BETTER way
    Wrap tube around pipe inside fridge. Coil hose around cold pipe
    BESTWAY
    CRACK CO2 in fridge, pump cold co2 into bucket
    You get there are lots of variations too this
    But if you go dwc, you need digital shat, ph, ec etc. you also need to be smart and micromanage. Yet never adjust abruptly at ALL

Try freezing some water bottles and put them in your main bucket. You want to chill the roots. But i heard dont go under 57 degrees farenheit. Not an expert but hope it helps

Thats legit. I like it.
[h=1]Coleman 40-Quart PowerChill Hot/Cold Thermoelectric Cooler[/h]Something like this you could plug in. Not sure how good it would be running long term.

No need for that. I freeze RO in tupperware and pop it out like a big ice cube, if no constant water pump is involved it will hold temp for days.

You hydro guys come up with some of the most inventive shit ever. Very bad ass. Not for me. But cool none the less.

There's actually a cooler club here on the forums somewhere, I joined and never do visit for some reason. More than one person does single site team water jugs in rdwc which is what I think I'll start next .

what kind of pump? you should try and put it on a timer first. on for 30 mins off for 30 mins see if that drops the temp any. cheapest way first
