EcoRenovator - View Single Post - What would be more efficient cheapest to run

Did find this on the net . The guy runs water through the radiator from a creek to help cool his house.

Im having a hard time figureing out why it wouldnt work if i built a small covering over it a building with a big enough hole to allow enough CFM of air through the radiator that the mini split would have enough air but also cool the air therefor raising the temp of the air before comeing into the mini split at times when the unit would be sucking in say 30 degree air . Instead the 30 degree air would come through the radiator first with the well water at 65 degrees warming it up to say 45 or 50 degrees. Then the 50 degree air goes through the mini split ? What am i missing ?

If it wouldnt work at all what would be the reasons.
