The water tank should be emptied regularly to ensure hygienic use. To empty
the tank:
1.
Remove the back panel and cooling pad to provide access to the interior of
the evaporative cooler.
2.
Pull the drain plug from the bottom of the unit.
3.
To clean the tank, rinse it with warm water and a light detergent solution.
Rinse with clean water and allow it to dry completely.
WATER PUMP MAINTENANCE
Hard water buildup can affect the performance of the cooler's water pump. To
prevent malfunctions, clean the pump and internal tubing with a calcium and
lime cleaning product (such as CLR) at least once a season.
1.
Empty any water from the tank.
2.
Pour the cleaner into the water tank and close it, making sure the pump is
submerged in the cleaner.
3.
With the tank closed, allow the pump to soak for 10 to 20 minutes.
4.
Remove the cooling pads from the back and sides of the unit.
5.
Run the cooler for 30 seconds. This will circulate the cleaning solution
through the pump and tubing to remove any leftover mineral deposits. Do
not operate longer than 30 seconds, or damage might occur to other parts of
the cooler.
6.
Rinse the tank and fill it with clean water. Run it for several minutes
without the cooling pad in place to ensure the cleaning solution has been
rinsed away.
7.
Replace cooling pads and operate unit as normal.
If the evaporative cooler will not be in use for an extended period of time, place
the unit back in its original carton and keep it stored in a clean, dry place.
