Q. WHAT ASSEMBLY IS REQUIRED?
A. None. Portacool Cyclone units are ready to use right out of the box.
Q. HOW DO I PREPARE MY PORTACOOL PRODUCT FOR STORAGE?
A. Drain the product, dry out the pads, cover the unit, and store the unit in a dry
place.
Q. I JUST RAN THE COOLER FOR THE FIRST TIME AND THERE’S AN
UNPLEASANT ODOR!
A. The pads, located in the back of your Portacool unit, have never been wet
before. The resin in the pads will emit an odor the first time you wet them that lasts
approximately one to three weeks. Keep the product in an open area until the odor
goes away or put a capful of laundry softener directly in the tank in the bottom of your
product. After approximately two weeks of operation, the odor should disappear.
Q. MY PORTACOOL PRODUCT ISN’T PUTTING OUT ANY COOL AIR.
A. First, make sure the water source and electricity source are connected and
working. Second, check to see if the pads are damp. If not, adjust the water flow with
the water adjustment valve. Third, make sure there is water in the tank. It should be
allowed to fill before you turn the pump on.
Q. WHAT IS THE BEST ENVIRONMENT TO PRODUCE THE MOST COOL AIR?
A. For optimum performance, the temperature should be 85˚ F or higher and the
relative humidity should be below 75%. However, Portacool products will reduce the
temperature in almost any environment, making it more pleasant.
Q. HOW OFTEN DO PADS HAVE TO BE REPLACED?
A. Depending on the quality of maintenance and frequency of use, pads typically last
up to five years.
Q. WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN EVAPORATIVE COOLING AND
MISTING SYSTEMS?
A. Misting units spray a shower of water into the air that will collect on people,
objects, equipment, floors, etc. Portacool products use the process of evaporation to
produce cooler air, but do not discharge a mist.
Q. WHERE CAN I BUY REPLACEMENT PARTS?
A. Replacement parts may be purchased from any Portacool product distributor or
directly from Portacool Parts/Technical Support department. You may also visit www.
portacoolparts.com to order online.
Q. WHAT IS THE AMOUNT OF MOISTURE PRODUCED?
A. An increase in humidity of approximately two to five percent is produced,
depending on the temperature and humidity of the environment. This increase is not
noticeable in a ventilated area where the air produced by the unit is exhausted.
Q. HOW LONG WILL THE WATER SUPPLY LAST IN THE TANK?
A. With no direct water source available, the water will evaporate in a filled water tank
within two to 10 hours of operation, depending on the water capacity of the product,
ambient conditions, temperature, and humidity. A water source for refilling the tank is
recommended by the manufacturer.
Q. WHERE ARE THE MODEL AND SERIAL NUMBERS FOUND?
A. The model number can be found on a metal plate on the outside of the product.
Model numbers begin with the letters “PAC.” Serial numbers are all-digits.
Q. WHAT IF MY QUESTIONS AREN’T ANSWERED HERE?
A. Our Tech Support staff is available 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Central Time, Monday though
Friday at 1-888-COOL-AID or you can e-mail them at [email protected].
