Swamp CoolerTips To Save Money.

 

Attempting to repair a Swamp Cooler or an Evaporative Cooler without proper training and safety  is dangerous. Swamp Coolers should only be repaired by skilled professionals.  Repairs performed by unqualified people risk serious injury or even death.

 

Proper maintenance and care is essential in keeping your Swamp Cooler running efficiently. Following these tips can prolong the life of your Swamp Cooler.

 

Check for leaks on your swamp cooler:
Locate where the water is leaking from and apply a good layer of asphalt-based sealant. Locate any other potential trouble spots and seal them as well.

 

Check your swamp cooler motor:
Turn the blower motor on. You can tell the motor is going when it makes high-pitched squeaks and squeals that come and go.

 

Check your water pump on your swamp cooler:
A tell-tale sign of a failed water pump is a swamp cooler that blows only hot air while on either the high or low cool setting.

 

Check your belt on the swamp cooler:
Inspect the belt for extensive cracking and splitting. If the belt is in bad shape, it needs to be replaced.

 

Check your oil point on your swamp cooler:
Motor mounts need to be oiled regularly to ensure proper function and to reduce the amount of wear and tear experienced by the swamp cooler unit.

 

Check the water line to your swamp cooler:
The spider pipe assembly hanging from the top of the swamp cooler unit tends to experience wear an tear as well. Inspect the assembly annually for signs of damage or deterioration.

 

Check the pads on the swamp cooler.
If the large honeycomb type are in place, they need to be replaced every 3-5 years. Clean them every year.  If you have the thin flexible type, dont bother cleaning just change them out every year.
