Control

The WayCool® control switch is mounted on the outside of one frame leg.

It has the following positions:

OFF

power is off to the blower motor and the pump motor.

LOW VENT

the blower runs at low speed and the pump is OFF.

HIGH VENT

the blower runs at high speed and the pump is OFF. 

Use this setting to quickly dry the cooling pads for removal and cleaning.

LOW COOL

the blower runs at low speed and the pump is on. 

Use this setting for low cooling loads.

HIGH COOL

the blower runs at high speed and the pump is on. 

Use this setting for maximum cooling.

PUMP ONLY

pump is on and the blower is off. Use this 

setting during startup to first saturate the cooling pads, 
then switch to LOW COOL or HIGH COOL to begin cooling.

Operation and Maintenance

UNIT PLACEMENT AND OTHER CONSIDERATIONS

The WayCool® should be placed at one end of the
building and an appropriate exhaust fan should be at
the opposite end to pull the cool air from the WayCool®
and discharge the warm air out of the building.

Try to get all the air flowing in the same direction. Do
not direct other fans against the WayCool® as they will
counter the airflow and hinder the cooling effect.

Obstructing the airflow from the WayCool® severely
reduces the cooling effect.

Avoid using ceiling fans as they disrupt the airflow from
the WayCool®.

Use as many exhaust fans as possible to create a
natural draft through the building. This will enhance the
performance of the WayCool®.
