Didnt you consider cooling the water? You can put the resovoir in the ground, in shade to start. Secondly you can actively cool the water by using a mister and small booster pump in the resovoir, assuming you have an auto topoff system in place and active ventilation in the reservoir. Thirdly, you can keep the pipes from burning them just by wrapping them in scrap cloth close to the plant. Im doing desert hydro, so this stuff is all necessary for me. :-) i use swamp cooling techniques as additional buffer on over 95 days, and wrap the lines in reflective tape. My ideal system will have a long cooling loop made of 1/2" PEX running 4' underground, with one pump in the reservoir. Oh, also i use crushed neoprene sleeves on my growing row pipes.
