reet, from now until september I am going to living back at home, but in a conservatory

Now this thing gets hot as fcuk in the summer so i want to air con it. as im only here for a few months till i move into new place i dont want to spend a fortune.

I dont think a crappy air recirc via a pad dipped in water one is going to work, anyone clued up on air con reccomend anything?

cant be doing no cutting in walls etc for piping though.

thanks.

yeah they do, but its ones that are basically a fan with a pad that dips into water to supposedly cool the air, everyday or few hours you have to fill it with water and put ice packs in, pretty sh1te really.

guess i need somethign inbetween, nothing industrial but nothign argos either.

There's a proper one although it does need ventilation, could shove the pipe out an open window maybe?

Yeah it does mate.

The black thing attaches to the hose and you can hang it out of a window, the white thing on top of that is in case you want to make a hole in the wall and vent through.

Got a pic of the label on the back, I'll post it up in a min.
