Retrofit a chilled fresh water pipe

How about a small plate cooler in the chill water loop near the galley.

Alternately, route the cold water line through a loop in a fridge.

Hi,

His water will be chilled in the winter.

If you are on a new boat that does not move and the captain won't buy a cover for the shore power cable any decent mods are probably going to be beyond the budget

Hey there,
Plenty of remote water chillers on the market for 150 to 250 Euros. These mount under the galley sink and "T" into your sink tap line. Konia and Oasis models come to mind and they'll make from 3 to 6 GPH of cold water to wash your veggies.

A loop through the fridge is probably the easiest way to get it done on the cheap. Just be sure you don't drill through a coil, which can be hidden in the walls of some modern refrigeration units. You might also be able to make a chiller built for use in the salt water aquarium industry work, especially if you have a holding tank that you could use.

Being on a tight budget, perhaps simple is best.

Brita refillable container or any container kept in the fridge until needed.

Sounds like the chef might be a bit of a prima dona and could do with an introduction to an ice machine. Failing that one could source a smallish heat exchanger off something and patch it into the chilled water loop for the air conditioning and use that to chill your freshwater.

Just be sure to not store food in that fridge...

Yeah, that would be almost like the icemakers and water coolers built into the millions of other fridges in use all over the planet.

You know what is even worse? Some fridges actually pump a mixture of pentafluoroethane, 1,1,1,2-Tetrafluoroethane and pentaerythritol ester of heptanoic and isopentanoic acids into the things at high pressure!

It's a scary world out there.

Yep, with a lot of ignorant people... http://www.fda.gov/forconsumers/consumerupdates/ucm093704.htm
