Energy Saver replacement cooling media is made with the highest-quality, virgin kraft paper for maximum performance and consists of alternating corrugated sheets having two different angles.
The 15 degree angle slopes downward towards the discharge side of the cooler. The steeper 45 degree angle should slope downward towards the fan.
NOTE:
New pads may have a slight “start-up” odor. This odor occurs from the dust created during the manufacturing process.
THIS ODOR IS NOT TOXIC AND IS NOT HARMFUL!
To reduce this, the media should be washed for several hours by running the pump without any airflow through the pads. Drain the water pan, refill with fresh water and start up the system. Repeat if deemed necessary. This procedure also helps the wetting ability of your new pads. The odor will also dissipate over time by installing a purge pump or a bleed-off tee.
Replacement media is supplied in multipule sections and may not fit as tightly into your portable evaporative cooler as the original pads.
IMPORTANT: Cooler media MUST be installed correctly or the air will not be cooled as much as it could be.
