How can I maximize my evaporative air cooler?

How to Maximize Your Evaporative Cooler

Here are some ideas on how you can maximize the benefits of your evaporative air cooler (swamp cooler):

  • First, read the manufacturer's instructions on setup, use, and care of your cooler.
  • Use evaporative coolers in arid environments.
  • Open a window. Closing up your home or building will create excess humidity, making your cooling system less efficient.
  • Operate your system during the hottest part of the day. Swamp coolers work best when the air is dry. The relative humidity should be less than 30 percent.
  • Keep the filter clean. Evaporative cooler filters absorb impurities, and you'll need to keep them clean in order for the system to work.
