I use a 5 gallon bucket and a sump pump thats my $25.00 cooler, who cares if
it runs when not welding. I just plug it in when I start and unplug when
done. If your going to weld a lot you will need a heat exchange but for what
I do it will worm the water nice but not hot.

I am thinking of making a homemade TIG water cooler. If I buy a
carbonator pump with motor, and I already have a nice condenser heat
exchanger (actually about 20 of little cute 12" ones), then all I need
in addition is a water reservoir (like a 5 gallon bucket), a 24 v
relay to turn on when my welding machine says so, and a little fan to
cool the heat exchanger. I have a lot of such fans. Am I missing
something?

thanks
