FAQ

Q. What assembly is required? 

A. None. Your Portacool portable evaporative cooler is ready to 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.
