I think target temps are like 60-70f....room temps. I have mine hooked up to a faucet I can control the temperature on during the winter. In the summer you should be able to run straight cold water and be fine. Critical Fertilator: The Micromanager of Macronutrients

Unless it runs through the water heater it's often near freezing so that doesn't seem odd to me. About the only solution is to hook it up to a faucet where you can adjust the temp. You can get an adapter that lets it screw onto the end of the faucet so you don't have to drill any pipes.
