An excellent suggestion and I always enjoy the responses to some of
these situations that we all become involved in.  My thought would be to
use our good old friend duct tape double wrapped, that way you could
check it from time to time.  But my main thought is that this idea is
really only for a tower that the water does not drain from, because if
you had leakage at any real rate, then the water would dilute the
antifreeze over such a short period of time that this would not work.
