7.3 Daily maintenance
15 minutes before quitting time – turn off the water pump and let the fan run 10 – 15 minutes – to dry out the cooling pads
before leaving. Inspect the cooling pads to make sure they are thoroughly dry (this action helps to reduce mold and mildew)
when pads are completely dry then turn-off fan.
7.4 Periodic maintenance
Depending upon your environment and how often you operate your MaxxAir will depend on how dirty your water gets in
the reservoir and how often you will need to clean it. If you begin to detect an
algae smell
coming from your unit – it’s time
to flush your MaxxAir reservoir with fresh water. Refer to and follow the steps above in 7.2 and remove 1 of the cooling
pads from the left side of the unit to gain access to your water reservoir. Take a small sponge and clean out your water
reservoir with a light cleaner and wipe it down completely and let the unit dry. (You may want to use a wet / dry shop
vacuum to clean out unit). When unit is clean add ½ Evap-O-Matic tablet to reservoir and replace your cooling pads (make
sure flutes are facing correct direction – see photo) retaining bar and bolts and add fresh, clean water back to the units’ water
reservoir. Note: You can order more Evap-O-Matic tablets by calling 1.800.433.1626.
Warning! Do not run pump without water in the reservoir.
This action will burn up your MaxxAir’s water pump.
