2. There are things that you should do to winterize your
Swamp Cooler. Winterizing your swamp cooler will
save you extra money for cooler maintenance.
Winterizing will also help make your swamp cooler
last several years longer. Below are some simple steps
that you should do to winterize your swamp cooler
during fall season:
3. Be sure to turn off the power supply before doing
anything on your swamp cooler. When winterizing
your cooler, you should power off your unit. It is
recommended to disconnect the unit or any appliance
from the power source before testing and working on
it.
4. Switch off the regulator that supplies water to your
cooler. You must also drain the water line to avoid
freezing throughout the winter. Unplugging the water
line at the swamp cooler and the supply valve can do
draining water. Be sure that the water line is in sloping
position to drain the water by itself. To drive the water
out of the water line, you must go to the uppermost
end and blow past the line.
5. All swamp cooler are designed with a drain in the
water pan. The water pan must be emptied before
winter and the drain must left open to let rainwater to
seepage in the duration of the winter. After draining
the pan, you will find mineral sediment and dirt in the
base of the water pan. The pan must always be washed
and cleaned out.
6. The water in your swamp cooler has been evaporating
during summer time while the minerals and sediments
continue to develop in the pan of your cooler. You can
use a vacuum to get rid of the minerals and the dirt.
Hose out the cooler pan with water while the drain
remains open. It will completely remove the sediments
and minerals out of the water pan and will help
prevent the metal pan from rusting throughout the
winter.
7. It is recommended to change the cooler pads of your
unit when winterizing. You should change the pads in
the fall and not during spring. Always remember that
old cooler pads have had dirt and minerals developing
in them all throughout the summer. Louver panels can
sometimes speed up the rusting of the pads because
they are pressed against the metal louvers. To avoid
rusting throughout the winter, you should install fresh
new pads in the fall.
8. Last but not the least is the cooler cover installation.
Installing a cooler cover will stop the rainwater from
rusting your unit. More importantly, the cooler cover
installation will prevent the outside air from getting
into the building or home being brought by the swamp
cooler.
9. Many home coolers include a damper, which can be
opened and closed. This damper can stop the air from
getting into the ducts and entering the building. A
cooler cover is required if you don’t have a damper. You
will also need a cover if the damper cannot effectively
stop outside air from leaking in.
