how about making it a closed system? one bucket with water in the bottom, just like you have. then set a bag of ice in the water.
when the warmer water returns to the water in the bucket, it will be re-cooled by the bagged ice. and once again, the ice cold water is pumped back to the copper coil on the fan.
think it will do the trick?
one bucket, and put a lid on it with a small hole in it so it doesn't flop out. oh, and another hole for the hose with return water. adds to your great idea!

@triggerfingerrunwild put it on the garden or something. you don't have to waist it!
-
Serious question. Has anyone actually tried this and can attest to it actually working?
-
Save yourself $40 bucks and just use the fan.

that's a waist of water

that could have been done so much better. first of all, use an aquarium pump to pump the water into and out of the tubes and back into the water. also, you can buy refreezable icepacks that you simply rotate in the water and the freezer, saving you trips to the store buying more ice.

when its 100 degrees the air is dry this puts mosture back into the air which will bring the room temp down. when we sweet it cools our body down...
-
If you keep the exhaust bucket in the same room, doesn't the heat circulate back into the room?
-
use a mini refrigerator. just drill 2 small holes in it, put water in it, and use a pump.

Why not start from the center and get all the tubing on the grill?? and then hookit up to the main waterline and have a continous supply of cold water? :)
