FAQ
Q. What assembly is required?

use right out of the box.
Q. How do I prepare my Portacool portable evaporative
cooler for storage?
A. Drain the evaporative cooler, wipe out the tank to ensure it is
dry and clean, dry out the KUUL
®
evaporative media, cover the
evaporative cooler and store in a dry place.
Q. I ran my evaporative cooler for the first time and there
is an unpleasant odor!
A. The KUUL evaporative media, located in the back of your
Portacool portable evaporative cooler, has never been wet before.
The KUUL evaporative media will emit an odor the first time you
wet it that lasts approximately one to three weeks. Keep your
evaporative cooler in an open area until the odor goes away
or put a capful of laundry softener directly in the tank. After
approximately two weeks of operation, the odor should disappear.
Q. My Portacool portable evaporative cooler isn’t putting
out cool air.
A. First, make sure the water source and electricity source
are connected and working. Second, check to see if the KUUL
evaporative media is 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 product the most cool
air from my Portacool portable evaporative cooler?
A. For optimum performance, the temperature should be 85˚ F or
higher and the relative humidity should be below 75%. However,
Portacool portable evaporative coolers will reduce the temperature
in almost any environment, making it more pleasant.
Q. How often does the KUUL evaporative media need to be
replaced in my evaporative cooler?
A. Depending on the quality of maintenance, water quality and
frequency of use, KUUL evaporative media typically lasts up to five
years.
Q. What is the difference between evaporative cooler and
misting systems?
A. Misting systems spray a shower of water into the air that
collects on people, objects, equipment, floors, etc. Portacool
portable evaporative coolers use the process of evaporation to
produce cooler air, but do not discharge a mist.
Q. Where can I buy replacement parts and accessories for
my Portacool portable evaporative cooler?
A. Replacement parts may be purchased directly from Portacool
Parts/Technical Support department or www.portacoolparts.
com. You may also buy replacement parts from any Portacool
distributor.
