I’ve searched around and mostly seen people create custom radiator builds attached to their water supply, but that’s beyond my skill level and I’m not sure if linking it directly to the water supply via piping would violate the lease or not. Are there any solutions a bit more DIY that I could take advantage of?

    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.
