If you reside in areas that see cold winters, below 40 degrees....you should consider installing a thermostat so the fluid can get to operating temps before being primarily cooled through the cooler.
(I say primarily cooled because thermostats tend to stay 95% closed until operating temps - allowing only 5% open/flow to avoid air bubbles and build up of contaminents at the thermostat - then when at operating temp, the thermostat opens to 95% flow).
Perma-cool has a really good thermostat. I think Summit carries them...in-expensive.

Not directed at anyone in particular. Just noted many seemed interested in the cooler = general comment to those who are less familiar with setting something like this up than you are.

And I live in the North East and do not have a thermostat, and have not had any problems in 10 deg F mornings. As long as you know not to get on it, it shouldnt be a big problem.
