What happens if you run your continuous water line through a large Coleman cooler (100 ft of curled Rain Bird tubing) packed in ice?

I'm sure it would help! Thanks for the idea! Now I just need to find my hose attachment! I Have opened the side of the unit and plunked 10lbs of ice in the water. .. You can tell the difference

I use mine to run water from a stainless steel container through a peltier "cooler" and back to the container. The container is in the nutrient tank, so there is no chance of contamination. I doubt you get any contamination anyway, but I find this a bit more efficient, as the water keeps going through the cooler and gets much colder than just having the nutrient running through it. The stainless steel container absorbs the heat of the nutrient, the water goes through the cooler. It works fairly well.

Haven't tried it but looking at the soft liner I would think it would eventually leak because of the seams. Try putting the ice in ziplock bags doubled up.

It should not be a problem using in a plastic cooler. I use it in a plastic 5 gallon bucket. I guess the key is to keep the element (round base) under water when plugged in. Also be sure to keep the black plastic cap, which the cord attaches to, out of the water. As the element heats the water, the water rises to the top and colder water sinks to the bottom to be heated. As far a resting the element on the bottom of the cooler, it is protected by a metal cage and shouldn't melt the container. Semper Fi. :)

I have not tried putting water in it, but I assume it would be okay. You might want to call or write Igloo company.

no problems. It has run dry while I was gone overnight in freezing weather and it is just fine. It does not get that hot just keeps water from freezing. I use it for my ornamental bantam chickens all season.

I don't think it would, but I put ice in ziplocks, it's lined with that thermal silver material

Inside the cooler there's a plug which is attached to a long plastic tube, the water will exit out the back of the cooler. Very easy. This cooler is great.

If you keep it open as pictured every couple hours you will need to add ice (drain out some water) if it is closed it lasted a lot longer

The ice is held in a basket overtop of the water tank so as it melts it goes back into the water tank. You have to put the ice in your freezer to save it. This ice maker will brake on you!

No problem. Like many other coolers you may have to remove the prong that is provided in the cooler to pierce the caps of water bottles. A factor to consider with a tabletop unit, the height at which you are filling the Greenway will be nearly 3 feet above the counter.

This can happen because of condensation. If the unit goes from a heated warehouse to the cold delivery truck

Check with TSA, however, going through secrurity with it filled with ice water is probably not going to happen.

Yes, it will. We use ours at our mountain cabin which is unheated when we are not there. We go there once a month or so (it is located at 5600'). When we leave the cabin in the winter, we antifreeze the unit by running RV antifreeze through it because you cannot drain it completely and it's tubing is small enough that water freezes in it. We have not had any damage to the unit by using this method. We used to use the Coleman unit but went through 5 or 6 of those due to freezing problems. You might be better off with a Zodi. Water can be blown out of them easily but they don't work nearly as well as the Mr. Heater unit.

Yes but don't leave your hose connected with the water left on in freezing weather.

I'm guessing loose ice would be a bad idea since it doesn't seem to be waterproof. Ice in a bag works.

Ohhhhhhh. I do this while it's DEFLATED! Thank you!!I wonder if it will sit low enough in the water. Well, we'll find out once this ice melts!Thanks again!
