Those lines are my tank water. It's a closed loop and it enters the fridge and goes into an ice-cream pail of water that sits inside the fridge. I didn't buy enough hose so the actual loop inside the fridge is only maybe 6 feet long. I know it might work a little bit if I went out and got say 30 more feet and added to my loop but after reading it's pretty obvious this hose insulates VERY well.

The compressor on the fridge also gets crazy hot and It was hot the entire time it was running. Most people that make these things report the fridge burning out pretty fast as they aren't meant to run non-stop like they end up doing.
