It’s getting fuckin hot out there. My tiny little window AC cannot keep up so I’ll be making one of these bad boys soon. I’ll let y’all know how it goes, but for now, here’s the instructions for anyone who needs it c:

    So TLDR is you are cooling the hot side of it with water and then that water goes through the pipes underground. As its even hotter you are going to lose more temp to the ground - realistically you wouldn’t even have to go as deep for something like this surely? Though you do want a decent surface area for all the pipe.

    I did have this sort of thought a while back, but I was thinking of getting a water source heat pump instead and found not many options. Modifying a cheap unit may not be too hard, shitloads of silicone and some boards around as much of the hot part as possible.
