No, that's both too high a TL, and doesn't use evaporative cooling.

The canvas bag seems to be right what I'm looking for - 'early West' implies that the first examples showed up around TL5 or 6, which is perfect. I'm also quite impressed by the claim of said bag keeps water at twelve degrees. I'm not sure if that's right, but if it is, it's awesome.
