Easy Maintenance
Straightforward setup and routine care help keep your Cool Boss evaporative air cooler ready when the heat arrives.
Cooling shouldn't create another complicated job.
Direct evaporative cooling uses a relatively straightforward combination of airflow, water circulation and evaporative media.
Routine care still matters, but Cool Boss maintenance is centered around practical tasks such as managing water quality, keeping the unit clean and inspecting or replacing evaporative media as needed.
Maintenance needs vary with operating conditions, water quality, frequency of use and the individual Cool Boss model, so always follow the instructions for your equipment.
Straightforward Setup Supply the appropriate water and electrical connections for your model, position the cooler, and you're ready to begin using the system
Practical Routine Care Keep the reservoir, water system, and evaporative media clean and inspect the unit periodically for normal wear or buildup.
Replace Wear Items as Needed Evaporative media is a service item. Inspect it regularly and replace it according to condition and the recommendations for your equipment.
Focus on the parts that do the work.
Evaporative Media Inspect the media for mineral buildup, deterioration, or reduced water distribution. Replace it when its condition or the equipment instructions indicate replacement is needed.
Water System Check the reservoir, pump, water distribution components and connections for cleanliness, buildup and proper operation.
Mineral Deposits Water quality affects the amount of mineral buildup that develops over time. Preventive water treatment and routine cleaning can help manage deposits.
General Inspection Periodically inspect the cooler for debris, loose components, damaged cords, water leaks or other conditions that should be addressed before operation.
Storage When the unit will be out of service, follow the model-specific instructions for draining, cleaning and storage.
Stay ahead of mineral buildup
The water running through an evaporative cooler can leave mineral deposits behind as evaporation occurs. How quickly buildup develops depends in part on local water quality and how frequently the cooler operates.
Cool Boss recommends preventive attention to mineral deposits. Appropriate mineral treatment and routine cleaning can help keep the water system and evaporative media in better condition over time.
A service item worth checking.
Evaporative media is central to the cooling process because it creates the wet surface through which incoming air passes.
Over time, mineral deposits, dirt and normal wear can affect the condition of the media. The appropriate replacement interval depends on water quality, operating conditions and usage.
Inspect the media as part of routine maintenance rather than relying on a single replacement interval for every application.
Four areas to keep an eye on.
A little routine attention helps keep an evaporative cooler ready for the next hot day.
Water Monitor the reservoir and water system for sediment, deposits and debris.
Media Check evaporative media for buildup, wear and proper water distribution.
Airflow Keep air inlets and outlets free of obstructions that could interfere with airflow.
Equipment
Look for damaged components, leaks or other conditions that should be corrected before operating the cooler.
