That way, it can recycle the cooled air instead of pulling in hot air from outside. Also, the water would not be exposed to the sun. On really hot days, add some ice to the water. Although that does somewhat defeat the purpose of trying to save energy, it's still greener than using an A/C.Adminhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18222137373184605217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6120586935905234915.post-14503146360454112072010-06-06T17:16:33.956-05:002010-06-06T17:16:33.956-05:00If you don't mind a little unsolicited advice ...If you don't mind a little unsolicited advice you should sell detailed plans for your swampy...the commercial ones (kar kool, swampy) are so monstrously overpriced they defy description. <br /><br />Long live Pepino Deux !!!dr.davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15886698961408263795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6120586935905234915.post-2910303858762381072010-05-07T19:01:46.543-05:002010-05-07T19:01:46.543-05:00not too concerned about UV on the cooler - it is i...not too concerned about UV on the cooler - it is in the shade all day.John Wellshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12783305402239706779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6120586935905234915.post-22895277659464038392010-05-07T18:56:37.646-05:002010-05-07T18:56:37.646-05:00Regarding the cooler fading or degrading, I'm ...Regarding the cooler fading or degrading, I'm only thinking about this from experience with different colour clothes line pegs.... why not just use a different colour cooler?<br /><br />White seems to stand UV the longest, with red being the worst off. I should know, my car is red and there's a definite fading on the paint there, and my red clothes line pegs are always the first to fade to pink and eventually break.Pipsqeekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00498831111053507816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6120586935905234915.post-19815811324262626762010-05-07T15:58:07.699-05:002010-05-07T15:58:07.699-05:00303 Protectant is available at most boat/marine st...303 Protectant is available at most boat/marine stores.

Sounds like some really good stuff.<br /><br />John, I love the new Pepino II! It looks great, and I bet it will work great, also.
