That's a good idea! I'll probably do that with the next batch. Thanks!

I used 50/50 with RV winterizing fluid (ethylene glycol - NOT the same stuff as car anti-freeze) and the other half water. Does the same thing and gets colder than salt water, but a little more $$$. Cheers and cold beers 😂

@@scottleggejr I'm going to try this. I usually deep freeze 1L bottles with plain water

2 liter bottles takes too much space.

@@johannvanderschyff7735 I just freeze my drinking water bottles. Then drink them last. 2 fish with one worm or is it 2 birds one worm. Anyway you get the point

​@@intractablemaskvpmGytry using near boiling water with about 390g of salt

Dude it took me entirely too long to get this. But this has to be the comment of the year! Thanks!

Few household chemicals in the proper proportions. Lol.

Tt😢

Broke into the wrong goddamn rec room!

Your Uncle Burt is the patron saint of Preppers.

It doesnt have enough salt. It wont get nearly as cold as these. Its a huge difference

NONSENSE!!! Salt water does not get any colder than water without salt when cooled the same way. Water with salt in it needs a lower temperature to freeze. That's because it's now a saline solution and salt does not change it's state at normal water freezing temps. The salt slurry disrupts the natural freeze cycle of water causing it to require a lower temp before freezing. Salt water does not get any colder than water without salt. It may feel colder while freezing because it gets to a lower temperature before freezing. Water and saline are essentially similar when frozen. Water without salt will freeze faster and stay frozen longer than salt water. Neither one of them will be colder than the other over time if they are both cooled to the same temperature to start with. So, essentially, no difference at all between water and saline. Although the PVC pipe is durable, it is not the best solution here. Bottled water can be frozen to well below 0 and is a far better solution as the walls of the bottles are thinner allowing for more water storage in the same space. Water is the number one drink you need while traveling and camping so you will most likely be bringing it unless you like getting your drinking water from a campground system which is not as desirable as filtered, bottled water. We have good water at home so we only use bottled water when traveling or camping. We also carry water from home for camping long term. We use our deep freezer to freeze cases of water to below 0 degrees fahrenheit. The water stays in the freezer year round and is put in the refrigerator to help during power failures. It's replaced when we need it for our coolers. We've never had any bottles explode. Apparently, the plastic used for water bottles can expand somewhat. This wasn't always the case but we have been freezing it for the past 15 years with no problems. @@RT-qz5ci

@@donhart3782 bruh chill out nobody cares i didnt even read all of that. Argue with someone else

wahahahahahahahhhahahah. 🤣😂🤣@@RT-qz5ci

@@donhart3782 I appreciate the practical alternative... the pvc seems cool... pun intended, but the practical notion of being able to actually drink the 'ice pack' if need be, is a much more efficient use of cooler space. For the record, I did not consider your response in need of 'chilling'... some people just consider information an argument, if their own remarks are challenged. Facts prevail, ultimately. Thanks for bothering to make your point for those of us unafraid of actually reading to learn.

I was thinking bringing it to a boil and filling completely, when it turns to ice it will cause a small vacuum There is a temp that water is expanded equal to ice, if you use that temp when it turns to ice there will be no pressure or suction.....if you fill completely

@@rugershooter5268 so what is that temp?

@@kevinsantascott3688 my guess would be under 100, steam is water expanded more than ice. When we start up cold boiler with level at 60" valves closed, we have to keep draining to keep it from shutting down at 67", but we're going up to 285f under 40psi

Wtf thats deep

@@kevinsantascott3688there is no temp that water is expanded equal to ice unless you also include its produced gas volume. Ice expands 9% greater than its volume of liquid water, while (near) boiling water will expand up to 4%.

oh??? read the can...the clear is labeled cleaner...the purple is labeled primer they are not interchangeable

@@docyoungblood9521 I'm a retired master plumber, the only difference is the dye, and the obvious use of the word primer or cleaner. Same stuff, does the same thing.

do what? the purple stain is to identify sewage waste lines. what plumbing idiot told you this story?

@@gwebster6600 I think you are wrong, but of course who knows? That would only make sense if people were buying both products. As a plumber I had both on my truck, but Harry homeowner will only be buying one.

@@gwebster6600 how would making two different cans and two different colors of primer that cost the same amount double how much they make since it takes the same amount of cleaner to clean the pipe whether clear or purple, they did it to mark sanitation lines so you could tell them apart and not mix them up later after they were buried. go read some plumbers building code books then come back with an idea of what you are talking about please.

You didn't know how to measure something?

@@bryanbiltoft8141 I was simply pointing out how thorough he was in his video, thinking of things that others might not have done before. I'm not a content creator and wouldn't have thought that there was a need to point that out either.

Thank you.

THANKS CAPTIAN OBVIOUS!

​@@hunterfishman7119he didn't do so in the video though

@@hunterfishman7119bro you ok? Lol

Yep, thought the same thing as I was watching> "he didnt primer/glue inside the end caps"

He also is using 1" not 1 1/4 as the he says

If they freeze faster, they will also thaw faster due to less insolation.

Insulation comes from the cooler. You want the pipe to have as much heat transfer as possible to keep the inside of the cooler cold @@carlosvillanueva8530

Wtf why would you think of that?

@@teamdada2194 Maybe because some folks know a little more about physical characteristics of chemical properties than the typical Joe Schmoe GED recipient.

@@cuivre2004 Ha ha. Truth.

I approve this message as a maintenance hand at a chemical plant that deals with a lot of CPVC and pvc pipe. Primer is a must before adding the hardner glue.

They live a rough life in my bait cooler and so far I haven't had any break.

Thanks, Skip! They're definitely worth it!

Maybe he could do a side by side comparison to compare how effective this is versus plain water

Yes. Dissolving salt in water (even ice water) makes the water colder. At the same time, salt water has a higher heat capacity, making it take more energy to increase its temperature. This means salt water can stay colder longer than normal water. But the two principles are not the same. The only way the two are equal is if the salt water is cooled to the same temperature as dissolving salt in ice water. So, if you can freeze salt water to something like -5 F or lower, it will be more effective than dissolving salt in ice water from an energy perspective. What does this mean? Not much with respect to the video. If you want to cool room temp beer or soda asap: ice + water + salt. If you want to make an ice pack, salted water is better than plain water. I personally use gel beads (garden center, or orbeez), with equal parts rubbing alcohol and distilled water.

LOL - I just made a similar comment above before I saw your comment. If somehow the tranfer of heat occurs at a different rate in fresh water ice than in salt water ice would this hack be valuable. IMHO

This is why I just freeze gallon jugs of fresh water for the camping cooler. Functions just fine as an ice block, and by the end of the week when all the cold food is used up, its still available as drinking water for cooking the dry foods.

Adding salt stops the water from becoming solid and breaking the pipes. I used to spray refridgerated concentrated salt water to freeze fish commercially and we could reach minus 20 degrees Celsius and I'm sure you could go colder

There’s no benefit to using salt water as water will freeze at 32, but will get as cold as the freezer regardless of the salt. Using a 30% alcohol solution is could be beneficial as the liquid would not freeze solid reducing freeze cycle stress on the pipe.

Like Bill said. Saltwater provides no benefit here

How does the pvc hold up? I’m going to make a few today but I’m probably gonna go with ABS just because it’s more suited for cold than pvc.

@@gregkrueger331I think over time abs would be more brittle

That much steel would add way too much weight.

I live in the desert and honestly that’s the best idea I have heard to cool that air even more, and lower the amount of moisture 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

my thoughts exactly :)

how do they work on the icybreeze? how long does it last? i'm considering buying an icybreeze and have been looking at different block ice methods.

I like the way you think. I do the same with water or juice. The larger the container, the longer it lasts.

I'm not sure that 3ft would fit into my freezer, but I like where you're going with this. Here in the Midwest, storm season can wreak havoc on freezers.
