Q. What assembly is required?
A. None. Evaporative coolers are ready to use out of the
box.
Q. How do I prepare evaporative cooler for storage?
A. Drain the evaporative cooler, dry out the evaporative
media, cover the evaporative cooler and store in a dry
place.
Q. Evaporative cooler just ran for the first time and there
is an unpleasant odor.
A. When installed correctly, the evaporative media
products allow complete molecular evaporation of
water ensuring a pure, clean stream of air. When new, it
is possible that a small amount of aromatic molecules
may evaporate along with the water molecules, which
could be detected as a slight smell. This scent lessens
in time. The product does not, in any way, allow harmful
chemicals to be evaporated into the air stream.
Q. My evaporative cooler is not putting out any cool air.
A. First, make sure the water source and electricity source
are connected and working. Second, check to see if the
evaporative media is damp. If not, adjust the water flow
with the water adjustment valve. Third, make sure there is
water in the tank. It should be allowed to fill before you
turn the pump on.
Q. What is the best environment to produce the most
cool air?
A. For optimum performance, the temperature should
be 85˚F or higher and the relative humidity should be
below 75%. However, evaporative coolers will reduce the
temperature in almost any environment, making it more
comfortable.
Q. How often should evaporative media be replaced?
A. Depending on the quality of maintenance and
frequency of use, evaporative media typically last up to
five years.
Q. What is the difference between evaporative cooling
and misting systems?
A. Misting systems spray a shower of water into the air that
will collect on people, objects, equipment, floors, etc.
Evaporative coolers use the process of evaporation to
produce cooler air, but do not produce a mist.
Q. Where can I buy replacement parts?
A. Replacement parts may be purchased by calling
Uline Customer Service at 1-800-295-5510.
Q. What is the amount of moisture produced?
A. An increase in humidity of approximately 5% is
produced, depending on the temperature and humidity
of the environment. This increase is not noticeable in a
ventilated area where the air produced by the cooler is
exhausted.
Q. How long will the water supply last in the tank?
A. With no direct water source available, the water will
evaporate in a filled tank within ten hours of operation,
depending on the water capacity of the evaporative
cooler, ambient conditions, temperature and humidity. A
water source for refilling the tank is recommended.
Q. Where are the model and serial numbers found?
A. The model number can be found on a metal plate on
the outside of the evaporative cooler. Model numbers
begin with the letters "PAC." Serial numbers are all digits.
Q. What if my questions are not answered here?
A. Call Uline Customer Service for assistance
