Tank Cooler

[TxBrew]

I have a reverse osmosis machine on our well water and it has a 10gallon tank it feeds into. Petty but I like to drink water without ice so what do you all think would be the most cost effective way to chill the tank?

Cost effective? Shade.

I have been looking at water chillers lately and even the smallest ones are 350-400 bucks. Not sure if those are for potable water or not though.

Well it's under the sink so there is not much more in that regards I can do.

I thought there might be a cooling pad product that I could modify to wrap around but have not found anything.

Let the ice melt first?

Run a line from there to the water thing on your fridge?

Put your water into a pitcher in your fridge?

Old school fridge without an ice maker.

I could not be so lazy but if I could achieve it for minimal cost that would be nice.

Yeah cooling is tough. I only need to drop 3-4 degrees in my tank and those 1/10 HP chillers seem to be the cheapest route I can find and they aren't cheap.

Seen used ones on CL for 200 bucks.

Could get an undersink chiller rather than trying to keep the tank cold. They work inline.
