Nice. Like his idea about submerging the heat exchanger in the air conditioning system. That would be an excellent idea.

Could have your chums round for one hell of a LAN party, then go for a dip. Bliss!

great idea, save money on pool heating, and cool your PC at the same time!

IceShock · 7 Jan 2007 at 21:42

lol thats good.

better idea than i had of using the toilet so when you flush it, it takes cold water from the toilet to a fanless reserator and then the warm water what was in the res, back to the toilet, so when ever the water gets warm after a few hours, just flush it! lol!!

Brilliant!

Wonder if you could do something simular with a cold water tank..

Assasin-uk · 8 Jan 2007 at 02:19

quality, the time spend doint it though :rolleyes:

Jay_t · 8 Jan 2007 at 09:26

Nice, all I need now is my own swimming pool.

A slightly less expensive alternative is just to bury your Zalman reserator in the garden. At the moment the ground temperature is just above zero and even in the summer it never gets much above 20C so it is extremely efficient as a cooling mechanism.

I did look into just mounting a Zalman Reserator 2 on the outside wall of my house, but decided that it wasn't necessary in the end.

you can

IceShock · 8 Jan 2007 at 13:32

or a fish tank, but it would boil the water and kill the fish

silversurfer · 8 Jan 2007 at 13:43

It wouldnt boil the water I think and just get tropical fish that like heat

Or plastic ones to start with and see if they melt

I dont have a swimming pool but we do have a pond

IceShock · 8 Jan 2007 at 13:44

lol! you would have a blocked pipes with a pond from not 100% clean water. unless you filter it millions of times
