What about this?

Those seem hit and miss. Seems everyone who has ordered one has had to get the back-plane replaced a couple times before it finally works. Also heard that sometimes pulling a drive will actually cut power to a whole section. Guess you really do get what you pay for.

Cat pee will kill anything in a 2 mile radius. Including humans.

:hmm:

oooh, this looks interesting

that your pool?

 

[mnewsham]

If you have an AC unit nearby that is on a lot i suppose it could work, but I wouldn't count on it really doing too much as the days you would want it are the days where you probably don't need the AC

 

[Mixolydian]

we had a gas heater for our pool.

 

[sdifox]

that your pool?

yeah, my pool. pain in the ass pool

I have a gas heater. I am just trying to use the pool as heat sink for computer

heh. noob.

more to reduce ac bill than to heat the pool.

pool pump is in the shed, ac condenser on the other side of the house.

 

[Mixolydian]

i love AC.

 

[sdifox]

but then, we are trying to get rid of heat from ac, so longer pipe with heat loss is not an issue.

You could run water lines along the condenser coil and then have it run throughout the bottom of the pool (cold goes down, heat rises). Only thing is having to have a way to completely flush those lines quickly for cold nights. Maybe an air compressor plug with a bleeder at the other end of the loop. Also I think if the pump is not running the AC would overheat, so it would HAVE to run all the time when the AC is on.

Or skip the middle man of having water lines, have the AC condenser coil have a secondary loop that goes to the pool first. Would have to discharge and recharge the unit to do that though, and know what you're doing, and know how to braze.

oh the pool pump would run all the time AC is on. AC might not run all the time.

I am thinking multi purpose.

pump-> trough. UV light shines on trough to kill microorganism -> barrel.

in barrel I have stainless steel clad copper pipe, perhaps with fins. That is hooked up to the NAS/SAN cooling loop.

Water than flows to second barrel. This one has another loop, this one is AC loop.

Another stage could be a mister. Mist the water to cool down the AC loop even before it gets into the barrel.

Welp. My only local "friend" is moving away. As if I didn't already have more loneliness & lack of a social life as it is.
