The styrofoam should be fine with water - they make cheap styrofoam coolers that are just foam, nothing else.

Keep in mind that a cooler that starts off full of ice ends up full of water. You’ll need some way to make this cooler you’re building hold water, or it will leak/drip wherever it goes.

I’m planning on lining the styrofoam with some sort of clear plastic film, I’m not sure of the brand or type - I just found it in my basement. There will be a hole with a stopper at the bottom - still trying to figure out how to seal the plastic to the pvc pipe that will run through the hole.
