Evaporative coolers are not air conditioners. The key difference is that they cool the air naturally and efficiently by adding humidity to the air stream. Water will circulate over the evaporative cooling media. As the fan pulls air through, the water evaporates, unleashing incredible cooling power!

It is important to position the cooler in a well-ventilated area with plenty of access to outside air for optimal cooling performance. Suppose you are cooling a shop or a semi-enclosed area. In that case, we recommend placing the back of the cooler to allow warm outside air to pull through the cooler while a constant source of cool fresh air is pushed into the space. For the proper amount of airflow, be sure to leave a door or window open.

Don't forget to take the power of evaporative cooling with you! Evaporative cooling can transform many spaces, such as patios, sports fields, garages, campsites, and outdoor events.

MAINTENANCE

Important Reminder: Safety First!

Before you start maintenance on your Apex evaporative cooler, disconnect the power by unplugging the cord from the outlet. Always perform maintenance in a safe area.

Regular Maintenance

1. Drain the Reservoir Weekly: To ensure your cooler works efficiently, drain the water reservoir at least once weekly. This will help minimize any order due to stagnant water. Remove the drain cap and let all the water drain out. Check inside the reservoir for any dirt, debris, or scale build-up, and clean it as needed. When replacing the drain cap, ensure its hand-tightened but not overly tightened.
2. Clean the Evaporative Media: To maintain optimal performance, periodically clean the evaporative media to remove dirt, debris, or scale build-up. Use clean water from a hose (a spray nozzle) and a soft bristle brush to clean the outer edges of the media. For more detailed cleaning instructions, refer to our online product support page.
3. Address Hard Water Issues: If your water quality is less than ideal due to hard water, you can purchase Portacool Hard Water Treatment™ at www.portacool.com/shop or from an authorized distributor. This treatment changes the ionic structure of minerals in your water, keeping them off the media. It enhances cooling efficiency, prevents scale build-up, reduces equipment corrosion, and prolongs the life of the evaporative media.

PORTACOOL.

MAINTENANCE

Proper Storage

1. Drain and Clean: Before storing your cooler, drain all the water from the tank and wipe it clean. Make sure both the evaporative media and the tank are dry.
2. Secure the Power Cord: Roll up the power cord and attach it to the cord wrap, preventing tripping hazards or damage to the cord.
3. Cover and Store: To prevent dust build-up and protect your cooler, cover it completely. Store it in a dry area. Optional protective covers are available from your distributor or at www.portacool.com/shop.

Following these simple steps will keep your Apex evaporative cooler running smoothly and prolong its lifespan. If you require further assistance or have questions, please refer to our online support resources or contact our customer care team.
