Default MARVEL 61HK VS. DRAFT BEER TOWER

I WOULD LIKE TO PURCHASE THE MARVEL 61HK KEGERATOR. I WANT TO MOUNT THE DRAFT BEER TOWER AT THE KITCHEN SINK WITH THE MARVEL DIRECTLY ADJACENT TO THE SINK. THE DRAFT BEER TOWER I LIKE IE: COBRA #MM1091K IS SPECIFIED AS "GLYCOL COOLED". I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THIS IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH MY SELECTED KEGERATOR. IS THIS CORRECT? AND IF NOT, CAN ANYONE SUGGEST ANY DRAFT BEER TOWERS THAT WOULD BE COMPATIBLE THAT COMES IN STAINLESS LIKE THE COBRA UNIT OR ONE THAT IS AESTHETICLLY AS PLEASING?

Unless you are able to circulate a glycol water mix through the tower, the beer in the tower will degass due to temperature issues. Thus, this tower would not be applicable unless you could somehow set up a small reservoir in your kegerator to hold this mix and then via a small pump, circulate along your line to the tower and then back. Otherwise, you may need to look at a ceramic type tower which is still aesthetic and air cooled.
