You want to use room temperature water and as large a reservoir of it as you can. Don't chill the water (at least not below the dew point).
You also want to use a pump that preferably does not cool itself using the very water it is pumping or at least one that puts as little heat into the water as possible.

In case it may be of interest to someone out there, I will quote the gospel according to ATIK received this morning:
" ... We don't sell water cooling systems ourselves, but as you say, any low power aquarium pump will do the job. You don't need high flow, just a regular flow. You don't need to disable anything, just turn on your camera as usual, and turn on the pump. You will then be able to get lower temperatures than you would with air alone.
Just a warning: Don't cool the water! Use it at ambient temperature."
Peter
