I can now foresee one drawback to pumping tank water though a cooling medium like the ground in that the use would not be constant, lest most of the time I'd be reheating water that didn't need to be cooled in the first place.

But if I didn't use it constantly, the water in that closed loop would go "stale" while it is turned off. If the water contains living matter (for sure it will), it would die, and I'd end up introducing a volume of polluted water every time I turned it on. Right?
