Comment on I don't have AC but my apartment lease covers unlimited water usage and the water is very cold. How can I best use this to cool my home?

Almost no matter how you do it, it’s going to be a horrible waste of good drinking water to try to extract cooling from the temperature of the water. If you are in a dry climate, make a DIY swamp cooler. Otherwise shell out for a small AC unit.

Also; using your free lease-included water for stuff like that, is probably the quickest way to no longer have water included in your lease…

So if

Using water this way is a waste of water

Using water this way will end the policy that permits this use case

Does that mean the fastest way to end the waste is to go ahead with this plan?

  Only if that was your sole use of said water otherwise you’re just going to pay more for all the water you’d normally use.
