Sitting water will heat the tile even if it's short time - it adds up. Since pipes do not split one packet into three, it rather allows one packet every three packets. So I rather cool my water Just make sure you cool down full 10kg packets of water, it will help save a lot of power! Also be prepared for the consequence of where the heat goes to, unless you sieve it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes the system quite big, so now I prefer straight up cooling the input water, that's a bit smaller (especially for big greenhouses). The other upside is that you don't need any additional cooling in your greenhouse, which you do need if you feed plants hot water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
