Cheap way to chill water? - Cannabis Growing Questions - International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums

I've got a large AC but since the temps have gone down in the past month it's not necessary and it's kind of suspicious to turn it on.

I know there are dedicated water chillers but they're really expensive here ($500 and up), so is there anything you guys use to chill your water besides that?

Thanks.

Goin back a few years to when I was doing nft

I used to freeze 1ltr bottles of water on about a 7 bottle a day thing and as one comes out of res, put that straight back to freezer

Rinse and repeat mate

Worked well for me tbh but in this game its horses for courses

Wouldn't that make the temperature uneven? Like, at the beginning it would be much colder and then gradually barely colder?

If your going to stay in the game, $300 is cheap.

No. The change in temp wont harm at all. I did the same. Had about ten bottles in freezer for that. Half litre ones.
It works
Its cheap

Might as well just get a chiller then no?

Don't live in the US, guys. Cheapest one for me is more than $500. The mini fridge idea is nice but I'm low on space.
