In outback Australia we use these evaporative aircons alot. Ours look different with the wood pads. We use a netted wood shave that looks like a pillow. One thing my unit had was a small water discharge hose that was around 30 metres long that drained when the water pump was running. It prevented any hard buildup inside the cooler and watered trees in our yard. Had it around 10 years and never had any calcium or scale inside.

Thank you from Albuquerque!!

Thank you so much for this video! I've got the same exact cooler on my roof. My landlords haven't been over here since before the pandemic ever started so I pretty much do it all myself. Problem is I completely forgot to go up and put the winterized cover on the cooler this last winter and when I went up there to get the cooler up and running the other day the big blower isn't working so there's no air. I'm assuming it needs to be oiled and was already assuming that and went up there last night to oil everywhere I could and couldn't figure out how to get the blower side of the cooler open in order to reach it even though I know I have accessed that side before. Now after seeing u lift that 1st panel off the blower side I feel stupid 🤦‍♀️ lol. In my own defense though I was up there in the dark so that's probably why I wasnt able to see that it came off like that lol. Anyway , after watching you video I can see Ive got alot more work to do up there. Wish me luck and thanks again lol.

Evaporative coolers are the way to go! Save much more money on utility bills than running an A/C all day. They're great to have here in Colorado.

Yes, they are! I live back in AZ, but I did live in Colorado for 6 yrs, and that is all you really need there for cooling. Same for Utah, where I've also lived and have lots of family there that have evap coolers

you forgot to mention that the media pads face a certain way. the painted stripe faces you and is closer to the bottom of the cooler. it appears you installed them correctly, which is good.

swamp coolers we developed that technology in Iran 1912 they work good in the desert 15% humidity not in Florida but you can when I'm in Florida 95 degree day in a garage to cool off when working on car this is how they work water is sprayed on the elements as the water evaporates it cools the air coming through it but also raise the humidity in one sense of the word you could call it a humidifier water-cooled Chillers have huge cooling towers and and they are Monster swamp coolers as water evaporates it cools the water do water goes into the condenser Barrel cool the freon vapor to a liquid state TMI LOL

As a experienced Aussie Swampy Scrubber try using a cobweb broom to clean the sump.

when you install the legs for the cooler do you have to find the studs or can you just screw it anywhere?

I think if I had this and the AC unit on that it probably wouldn't work the AC unit so hard. it's like having two AC units but one with less power. takes forever for the central air unit to cool the house. especially on super hot days. replaced the motor and upgraded the fan and cleaned the whole unit. blows super cold but house stays hot until night

Evaporative Cooling is different. Direct cooling as in video adding moisture to the air. Indirect cooling from industry leaders with Wet bulb temperature. Dew-point regenerative indirect evaporative cooling from Maisotsenko Cycle.

Not difficult when you start with a unit well-cared for and easy to prep. Most homeowners neglect their evaporative coolers. Have worked on several hundred, and the only units as clean as the one you showed were basically new.

I just bought a wet section to my 16yr old Mastercool evap as the old one rusted too far to fix. $324. I see that aerocool has a plastic insert to the wet section. which means no rust out and possibly lots cheaper to replace/repair. I wonder as I can't find one for Mastercool but the same design.features. You know of any plastic inserts for the Mastercool with 8" pads. 42" wide and 17 inches deep. i'm 5 weeks out from a Phoenix summer.

@uprailman

The new wet section comes painted and sealed. My old old one with real hard water lasted 16 years. My problem was I got too old to really climb up on the roof and empty it at seasons end. and so the water would just sit and rust the unit. It pays not to be lazy. But on any new house that AREO cool sounds like the cats meow being plastic inserted. What I should do is produce a aftermarket plastic insert for the mastercool and sell it to people who don't want to pay the $300+ for a new wet side.

I'm in Phoenix too just rebuilt my 10 year old master cool 6500 down draft this year I hadn't run a bleed or drain pump for last 5 years build up was so bad had to use pool acid to clean the wet section I tossed the pads out they were hard as a rock. The pool acid was harsh but it got the job done wasn't as bad working with then I thought gloves and goggles all I needed. I was surprised wasn't even any rust under all that buildup I had even bought a can of rubberized paint I returned the pool acid cleaned so well the bottom looked new. There is a local evap cooler store here they sell a stainless Steel wet section comes with new pad, pump, and everything in wet section little high priced $600 I was about to get it but changed my mind after seeing how clean mine was. It's like new now replaced bearings, belt, pulley, and installed new electrical box and thermostat getting 78F in my house 111 today 8% humidity. I wired in a purge pump to my new electronic thermostat has a purge pump feature turns on 2 times a day. I plumbed the drain line so it drains into a 5 gallon bucket has a hose at the bottom goes on my lawn. When the season is over ill just remove the bucket I had it running onto my lawn but from the roof it makes a hole in the grass plus I like the option of letting it run into the rocks if I drain some cooler cleaner out. This video didn't see purge pump or bleed line he must get lot of build up that pad needs cleaning. I plan on running a bottle of cooler cleaner once a month keep the new pads really clean.

@megostop9650

5 жыл бұрын

What do you mean steam? There is no steam associated with an evap cooler. Why do people get so perplexed about how an evap works? It's very simple. The pads get wet by the pump. The blower blows air through the wet pads through the house. That's it! It's the same concept if you lick your arm and blow on it. Very simple.

How much does it cost, sir?

system is good but too small and air flow rate is too low can not be good work in high temperature-

Water in a swamp cooler sits in the bottom with a float valve that shuts the water off at a certain level. You could pull a panel off and check.

I'm considering changing out my four panel swamp cooler for one of these Mastercool models. I'm looking on the price of the replacement pads and had sticker shock. How many years do you get out of the pads? I have hard water and usually change them out every year. Thanks in advance..

The hose is used so that you don't dump water onto the roof when you drain the unit, It is also used so that if there is an overflow, the water will not drain onto the roof.. It probably goes to a gutter or drain.
