For those interested, if your evap cooler is not providing at least a 20 degree differential from the outside temp....check the dew point in your area (not the relative humidity) on a weather app. If the dew point reaches 30 degrees, the efficiency of the evap will begin to suffer.
Here in SoCal it was 104 today, the swamp cooler was on and the air out of the cooler was 64. Works great. if you don't get a 30-40 degree differential, then it must be too humid for the cooler to work. Guess you gotta move to a drier location?
I live in La I have a master cooler, is not even blowing cold air seems more like a fan with the pump on I’m not sure what’s wrong it is brand new as well
@@KiddMerk3are the pads getting wet? Sounds like the pads maybe aren’t getting wet. Make sure you turn the pump on 5-10 minutes before engaging the fan. If you haven’t figured it out yet definitely check to see if pads are wet. Those Master Coolers are really nice and work better than the old school swamp coolers.
We get about a 15 degree difference out of ours. We have the type like in the video. I have heard from some people that the traditional box style evaporative coolers works better than the low profile window units. Not sure if that is accurate though. Sometimes it does get too humid in the house, so we have to turn it off and us the AC.
I’m in Denver Colorado, I get about a 15-25 degree difference in the inside temp from the outside temp. Usually closer to 20 though. I’ll have to take the temp of the air actually blowing out of the unit. Yeah just depends on humidity. I have the old school window swamp cooler though, this is a small house, 700 sqft. I’m trying to figure out if I can turn my back up window swamp cooler into a Master Cool by rigging it with the Master Cool pads. I know green houses use those as well as a lot of big commercial buildings. They are supposed to be the bees knees as far as evaporative cooling goes! Ohhhh and this house was built in the 40’s or 50’s I think. It’s not insulated so yeah it WILL NOT stay cool unless I run the swamp during the day. ***Edit today isn’t the best day to be testing because it’s high humidity right now and cool here, but it’s measuring about 60° air coming out of it and it’s 75° outside but our humidity is close to 60% I literally just changed to new pads and that’s why I started looking at evaporative cooler videos 😆

30-40 degree differential wow! Yeah we don’t get that at our house.

@@KiddMerk3same issue
Damn where you at I’m in the inland empire and it only gets about 15 degrees tops

Thanks for sharing, great info!
Thank you for the video. May you provide link to where you bought the brackets for the bottom of the system??
