    they mentioned their patio in the video so I think it’s a way to keep things a bit cooler while they are sitting outside

      Could be interesting to try something like that, don’t have anything like as much space though. Wonder what kind of water consumption rate to expect. If something useful could be grown in it then that would also be a large benefit.

          Sure, but you can only store so much rainwater and I haven’t seen rain in almost 2 months. In England! My plants would like some of the rainwater I have stored too and its very limited.

            The water drips down into the containment area where it’s pumped back up so I believe it is quite cyclical and efficient.

              Evaporative cooling means water is evaporating. With such a large area, potentially a fair bit of it.
