3.
Wash pads with a garden hose. Do not
use a pressure washer.
4.
Check water distributor for blockage
or excessive buildup of dust.
5.
Set media in a safe place until all
maintenance is complete.
6.
Wash out reservoir thoroughly using a
soft bristle brush. Use plenty of water
to remove algae growth.
Clean areas around pump, strainer
and float to ensure no algae
growth remains.
CAUTION
:
Do not use harsh chemicals
(like chlorine bleach) to clean the interior portions of the cooler. Do not
use abrasive cleaners on the exterior of the cooler body to maintain its UV resistance.
7.
Rinse thoroughly after using any cleaning solutions have been used on the interior or exterior of the unit.
Water System Pump:
1.
The water pump is a self-contained unit that should require no maintenance other than ensuring that no
debris or corrosion interferes with free movement of the parts.
2.
Ensure hose connection to pump is in good condition.
Water Float:
1.
The float level is factory set for optimum performance, however moderate adjustments can be made by
bending the float arm for a different water level.
2.
The maximum recommended water level is approximately two inches (the height of the overflow orifice.)
Water Distributor
1.
Inspect the water distribution section to ensure all orifices are clear.
2.
Verify the hose connections are in good order and no kinks or tears are present.
Water Drain Overflow
1.
Unscrew the drain overflow pipe and check the condition of the gasket at the bottom of the fixture. When
reinstalling, ensure the standpipe fixture is secure and there is no leakage after the reservoir is filled.
NOTE:
If during usage of the cooler you start noticing low saturation of pads and insufficient cooling, or
leakage from the cooler, check the O-ring at the base of the standpipe. This is the most likely cause of leakage
on this unit.
Optional Water Purge Pump (if installed)
1.
If a purge pump has been installed on the MCP44, check that the purge pump and strainer are corrosion-
free with freely moving parts.
