    I looked into setting up a system like this, but it wouldn't work in the winter with freezing weather. Since I don't want to have to swap back and forth I just use plastic water dispensers that I can elevate and rest on a heating pad in the winter. It looks like a decent idea if you never have sub-zero weather.

    Yes, I can see how it would be a problem in a cold climate. But maybe the pipes could be enclosed in insulation. However, I suppose in extreme climates, that wouldn't work either because pipes have to be buried so deeply in order to keep them from freezing, and the valves would still have to be exposed. The other alternative though might be to blow air just warm enough on the system to keep the pipes from freezing. Use a more compact system where the pipe and the cooler are closer together so that they both can be included in the warm air source. It would be interesting to keep trying to find a solution--- until it gets too frustrating, of course. LOL

    I'm experimenting with using a copper pipe (instead of PVC), with the rest of the setup the same.

    Cool! I'm curious. Why copper?
