Drop a radiator into the evap and you've got very cool results. I wouldn't pump it directly through the system though, swamp cooolers tend to be nasty.

Even if he runs the thing 24/7/365 for an entire year, its going to use much less then 200 gal/year (never mind that the evap won't really work during the winter or very hard at night). Thats like 3 or 4 showers or a bath or two. No one is going to notice the couple cents a month it adds to the bill. Which is why people use evap in the first place, its an order of magnitude cheaper then an actual AC unit.
