Thread: DIY Water Cooler

  1. #1

    Default DIY Water Cooler

    Just finished a DIY water cooler for my PM256.
    I used a carbonizer unit and adapted the SS tank on it for the water storage tank. And used a auto AC evap for the radiator. I used quicke disconnects on the torch and coller so when I want to put it away I can disconnect each and reconnect the ends so nothing leaks. Also this was handy to attach a pressure gauge to set the pump pressure. I drilled out the end of the motor shaft and welded in a 1/4" shaft for the fan to attach for cooling both the water and motor.

    Have fun

    Hey I have a carbonator like that. I use mine to make my own Dr. Pepper. Did you keep the tank probe and control board? Want to get rid of them if you did?
