as said before, one of the most seen example of evaporative cooling is that without any load at all you can actually go under ambient temp and with some load on the system, you are a few degrees above ambient. It is more efficient than a rad when used in a low humid place IMO.

Disadvantages: You need to keep filling the system with water since water evaporates
also you need some kind of filtering of the water if you are going to use tap water because the remains, deposits etc can clog your showerheads
