I had a 500W heater in it but I have blown through about 4 of those so now just room temp. I needed a booster pump anyway. I even have a 4 foot section of 1" PVC inline between the supply line and the pump to keep it from hammering.
Seriously, 28+ days to fill the tank and half that was with a booster pump. And I think your idea will work well. Using the cooler will make it even more efficient, but you ahve to make sure that the coil isn't all together or it will be a block of cold water rather than a stream. I hope you understand what I mean.
