I didn't take any temperature readings, just hooked it up and it blew cool air. It was too much cooling for my 6-ft stretch hexayurt, so we put it in the kitchen shade area to cool ourselves outside. Water supply was not a problem because I had built a sand/charcoal filtration system to process gray water from our camp shower, so it was essentially water that would otherwise have gone into an inefficient evaporation pond.
