I have wondered the same thing. Right now it is dry and I am hoping the copper will allow for a rapid transfer of heat. The well is also pretty deep and extends well into the wort stream, so I am hoping the influence of ambient external temperature will be small.

I'll assume a buddy from department of transportation hooked you up with all that sign post material. But I'll be watching for increased accidents from your area due to missing traffic signs!!!   |

The flip tops are decoration of sorts, who knows why.
The pump is an Idexx stainless centrifugal pump. Ebay. It is bullet proof.

Just insulate it. Pipe insulation for water would work fine. It is cheap, sanitary, and easy to remove with out making a mess. I should be more specific, insulate the entire fitting and well on the outside. I know that sounds funny, but I think you will get the idea. S.

March pumps are great. I have a couple and used them for a long time. I like my current pump because it has a pump head that can attach to a standard motor and it is stainless. But mine is also really expensive unless you can find one used. I paid 1/10 its regular cost.
Here is a link to a thread on my pump: http://www.homebrewtalk.com/f11/pump-rebuild-23444/?highlight=idexx+pump
