Bust the Vevor Temperature Limit in 3 Minutes Max!

I was thinking of using two 5 gal buckets. one for output, and one iced water, as no heated water would mix with the cold.


Would have to replace water in cold bucket, but not hard to do.

I know that would be the most efficient method of cooling the head (dumping hot water output into a separate bucket or down the drain), but I'm curious how much water you'd go through in a run. I couldn't trust the GPH/LPH rating on these little water pumps though, so if you end up doing that Knife, then please let us know how much water you end up going through!

Yes, that is a transformer to power the 220v Tuxing off 110v outlet-older photo.  I could only locate the 220v compressor when I bought the first one.  It worked fine for quite a while but I wouldn't recommend that approach now as I believe the voltage output was fluctuating on that transformer and the 110v compressors are readily available now.  I have a Yong Heng 110v now and still use the loose ice in the tool box for the cooling and it works nicely.  I plan to wire an outlet for 220 in my shop and leave the Tuxing there as backup.

The two buckets are just a thought. AsI use the Altaros booster in the shop.

I'm glad I thought of that idea!

Im kidding of course! Great idea Knife, best one I've heard yet, I'm gonna try it! If nothing else, it should prolong my ice supply!

Thanks!

Little follow up........update!

I ended up just trying more ice in the same 5 gal bucket, that and the machine being a little more broken in seems to have worked. Not having anymore problems getting the temperture to stabilize below 65C.

Basically just added 4 or 5 more ice packs or 16oz frozen gatorade bootles to the bucket, along with the orignal frozen gallon jug. Seems to be working, enough to get me over the hump. Besides an issue Ive been having with the main switch, keeping the temperature below 65c has not been an problem since adding more ice.

Cool!
