Getting the most
from your cooler
Your evaporative cooler isa finely crafted, eco-
nomically operating unit built on decades of
know-how and reseamh. It serves as the heart of
an overall air coolingand movingsystem foryour
home. But there are a number of ways you can
maximize the comfort, efficiency, economy and
convenience of your total cooling system.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance as recommended in this
manual, is essential for cooling comfort, extend-
ingthe life ofyour cooler, and avoiding unneces-
sary parts replacements. Start-up and shutdown
servicing should never be overlooked.
Add-On Coolers
Coolers come in a wide array of sizes, horse-
power, andcapacities, suitable for patio, garage,
guestroom, and so forth, More than one cooler in
a single home improves the cooling effective-
ness of the system. Owners of refrigerated air
conditioning have found that the addition of an
evaporative cooler vastly reduces their electric
bills.
Insulation
Once your cooler forces cooled air into your
home and pushes the hotair out, good insulation
around yourductwork willkeep the airas cool as
possible. Whole-house insulation will prevent
heat from seeping in and willalso improve cool-
ing comfort.
Multi-Speed Motor
The cooling rate can be controlled by increasing
and reducingthe amount of cooled air blown into
your home. Two-speed motors allow you to use
higher speeds duringthe hottest part of the day,
lower speeds for milder temperatures.
Attic Vents
By exhausting cool air through the attic, youcan
reduce the temperature of this hotspot and make
your home more comfortable.
Thermostat Control
The addition of automatic control makes your
system convenient and efficient. We recommend
the MasterStat TM, Model CC1000A, Universal
Evaporative Cooler Thermostat and Control Kit.
