In one minute, A will fill 1/8 of the cooler.

Meanwhile, B will fill 1/12 of the cooler in one minute.

Let's put them in a common denominator:

1/8 * 12 = 12/96

1/12 * 8 = 8/96

12/96 + 8/96 = 20/96, which simplifies down to 5/24.

So the combined faucets are getting 5/24th of the cooler filled per minute. After four minutes they will have filled 20/4ths fo the cooler, and they will have finished before the end of the fifth minute. To be specific, in one minute they would fill 5/24ths of the cooler, but only have 4 more to fill, so only 4/5 of the last minute is used.

One cooler divided by a rate of 5/24 per minute gives us 4.8, or 4 and 4/5 of a minute to fill the cooler exactly, which matches what we had above.

Not a good idea. The P/S cooler is there for a reason. But if you must then just purchase a coupling, and couple the inlet and outlet hoses from the cooler together. Be sure that you buy high pressure hose and the proper clamps.

How does the water cooler heat up water?

The cooler will warm up the water in the reservoir until it is boiling, then it will turn off. After a couple of minutes, it will turn back on again and heat the water till its boiling again. That's why the water is always hot because the cooler is constantly heating it up like if you kept turning a kettle on.
