You have the problem that if you use tap water, every salt (calcium, sodium) will start to deposit or clog the block. You will also have a higher elecrtical conducitivity.
Using disitilled water would solve the problem, but then, you need another thank (bigger) that would be connected to the float.
Same system as using the 1/4 hose you told, but instead of using the pipe system of the house but instead using a bigger (and at a higher height) tank so you don't have too much water at the bottom of the bong( which will hinder the perfomance of the bong to go below ambient but will also act as a buffer).

I think Xjinn, when he develloped is bong, calculated that it could cool around 700 watt of heat.
