    Sounds like its over heating if your having to cool it off with water. Over heating problems= dirty condenser coil,over or under charged, faulty motor,bad run capacitor for fan motor or compressor, restriction at refrigerant metering device and the list keeps going and going. Any or all will make a compressor over heat.
