hell...come to think of it...if you got the right kind of material just make a loop out in the backyard about 6 feet down (mind the gas and phone lines)

the earth usually will do the rest of the work if you just pump water through it

Pics and more info would help too, if possible.

Color of buckets ?
Any color besides black causes light leaks and black attracts heats.
May have to get reflective insulation wrap from Lowes/Home Depot.

Light wattage and ambient air temps in grow room ?

Two members, Weedler and BeaverHuntr, use the 5gal Igloo style cooler buckets from Lowes/Home Depot that you see used for construction sites/sporting events, and love it now.
Just some thoughts.

I bet you wouldn't even need to go much under the freeze line. for me that's about 2' I was thinkng a large rez filled with water to run air line threw to help cool my green house. lol never thought of just running water in the same type setup. thats a good idea chubby.
