A clear vinyl hose connects the pump to the filter. From the filter, a "T" connector supplies two lines that run
along the bottom and up opposite frame corners to supply the PVC pipe with water. Each vinyl hose
connects to two PVC pipes, which run horizontally along the top of the frame above the cooling pads.
Water Supply System
The PVC pipes have a series of holes that run the full length of the pipe. Each PVC pipe is covered with a
plastic mesh sock which helps break up the water as it leaves the spray holes. This gives a more even
water distribution across the cooling pad and reduces splashing. The holes direct the water inward at a 90°
angle to continuously saturate the cooling pads from the top down. Excess water drains back to the bottom
through drainage holes in the bottom support channels which support the cooling pads.
Note: Water cleanliness has a major effect on the cooler's performance. Use a clean water supply
and consider a water softener if your water is hard. Dissolved solids in hard water deposit on the
cooling pad surfaces and reduce the airflow through the unit and therefore the amount of
evaporation.
