I don't know if water cooling the coils is such a good idea in a cap tube system. The length and diameter of the cap tube are designed to work with air cooled coils. If you water cool the coils, the high side pressure drops and the refrigerant turns into a high pressure liquid further up the condenser coil than it normally would. I'm not exactly sure what the effect on the system would be but my guess would be reduced efficiency.
