A buddy of mine gave me a drinking fountain awhile ago, and the thing has been in my way around my shop since. I finally came to the conclusion that I'll never install it, so I decided to re-purpose it. I tore it apart and built a carcass around it with scrap.
I just recirculate water through it, and so far it seems to do a fair job at keeping the cooling water from getting too hot in my 15 gallon reservoir. I'm doing 8 to 9 gallon runs in my boka reflux http://homedistiller.org/forum/viewtopi ... 32&t=47778.
Here are some pics of the cooling reservoir manifold and the chiller.

Re: Drinking fountain chiller
Good stuff mate, nice box you did
. We have them fountains at work and every time I use it I've thought about this!, glad someone finally did it!. I always thought it might get hot cause ours at work loose coldness after lots of use, but it's working for you by the sound of it 


Here's to alcohol, the cause of, and solution to, all life's problems.
