Mitch I use frozen water bottles so the air can circulate better than
blowing on the surface of water. It increases the surface area greatly.
For what it's worth. I also occasionally use a post op knee cooler. It
is a ice water circulator that is used after knee surgery with a small
cooler and pump. I attached a 12v plug and use it on my seat to sit on
for more cooling. They are expensive but I was given one by a
recovering patient. Works well for me.

I jsut bought one of those "koolair" deivices you place on top of a
25quart
coolor.....it DOES blow cold air but its NO WHERE NEAR enough to even
make
the slightest difference. It costs around $40....but doesnt work
....Got to
look into something else!!!
Thanks
Mitch
