water hose. When replacing them, check
underneath to see that the spreaders are
correctly located in the notches under the
top panel.
Drain all the water form the cooler by
removing the overflow or overflow bleed
funnel. Do NOT put it back until next
season. Do not lose the O-ring seal.
Disconnect the water supply pipe from the
tank. Make sure no water is left in the float

Cover the cooler for winter if desired.
All units can benefit from routine
preventative maintenance. This may be
required more frequently if you are
operating under harsh conditions.
To perform Preventative Maintenance,
follow the instructions for
‘
Pre-Season
Maintenance
’
at regular intervals.
In some areas and for some commercial
installations local regulations have specific
requirements for the maintenance of
evaporative air conditioning systems.
Generally these involve regular cleaning and
maintenance at (3) monthly intervals or more
frequently if necessary.
