Glycol is an anti-freeze so unless you are planning on running the water through a chiller or something I don't think it will do you much good.

Most of the coolers are designed to build up an ice bank so no real need for glycol

Glycol itself will not make the liquid any colder only allow it stay liquid below freezing
