- Maintenance cleaning for MasterCool evaporative cooler: window fan with water/humidity function.
I do not receive any type of compensation for product mentions. Maybe I should look into that? đ€ Meanwhile, it would be great if you could help me by hitting like, share, comment, and subscribe! Thank you!
Thank you so much for making this video. My roommate used to take care of this chore at our house. Sadly, he passed away last year. My son and I will be doing it this year and this video was exactly what we needed.
Sorry to hear about your roommate, that is very sad. Glad you found the video to help. Youâll do great!
I was able to take our swamp cooler apart and get the motor working in about 15 minutes because of your video! The motor was stuck due to grime build up, and I was able to clean it and get it working. Much appreciated!!
Nice job!
The video was simple, helpful and to the point...really great video!
Thank you glad it could help!
Thank you! Fixed my cooler thanks to your video!
Great to hear!
Great video! Thanks for sharing this information.đ
Thanks for watching!
Best video ever for cleaning evaporator cleaner.
Thank you!
I would think a dual window fan would work instead of a evap cooler taking cool outside air from outside to keep temps cooler inside. Possibly the air flow is more with an evap cooler than a dual window fan. We use our Bonaire Durango all summer here in southern cal. And it has literally saved us several thousand dollars in cooling to cool the house. We only use the central AC when itâs humid outside which is a few days during the summer. Thanks for sharing how to clean it.
Yes that could work too. If not using water feature, then as long as it is cooler outside than inside you could use either window fan or evap cooler. The water feature on the evap cooler cools the air down a little more. Do you run your evap cooler 24/7 (outside of the humid days you mentioned)?
We just got this unit and it is not nearly as good as the traditional style. It does not move nearly enough air for a whole house. The metal box looking ones with the big squirrel fan inside move heaps of air and also have way more cooling water pad surface. But....your video is perfect. Very helpful. Thanks. Good job.
it takes 2 of these to replace old school ones
I sold mine and got a big one for 50 bucks on craigslist. It's ugly but it cools so much better.
he's not even using it, lol, guy could have a window fan for a 10th the price
I got one of these last year to run when possible to avoid using our two central units (7 tons of cooling total) 4,000 sqft house. I live in the Mojave Desert area of Southern California and I have to say it works great in our very dry climate with 100+ temps common. Yes the larger box type units can come in bigger sizes and move more air but they also use more energy the larger you get. As a supplemental unit as we use it they are not loud and take up little space and look decent.
@georgeb1364 We just bought one. We also live in the HD. I have had it two days, my house sits at 85 and it's leaking water. Not sure what I am doing wrong. Very frustrating. Definitely not like the old school one we had in the 70's
Hi great video, I recently had to change out the motor. But now Iâm confused which is the purge pump and which is the regular pump. My water is spilling out so Iâm currently using my av but I need to get this back on track, it saves so much money. Iâm out in Lancaster, ca in the high desert so this is perfect for our weather except monsoon season. Thanks again!
What did you see your water bill increase by from your regular monthly bill? I know these you must have the water on
Please do not make the mistake I made . I bought a Bonaire Durango through the company's website and they sent me one that had been returned and was missing parts plus didn't work. No one answers the phones. No one returns calls . I'm having to sue through my State's Attorney General to recover my funds. No warranty whatsoever.
Itâs only a couple hundred bucks you. You must be white lmao
Hi thanks for this video
We have the same cooler at home and our problem is that we used the pump for it and it blows hot air we are 102 degrees here in California and that doesnât seem to work
Yeah sounds like weâre neighbors. With the water pump it should blow air several degrees cooler than what is outside. But if outside is 102 it will blow air in the 90s into the house, which isnât very helpful. Hereâs a video on how we use it to cool the house down as much as possible. We really love using it Spring and Fall, and during any cooler summer nights.

Oh wow thanks so much!!!! Very helpful tips
â@@savemoneydiy1462I just bought one. I am in thr high desert and it's 85 inside. Does not cool below that.
Great video, pretty thorough đ Any ideas why my pump is pumping water?
disconnect the overflow hose and hose the tank down ,easy as man
I have a question do you know what can be wrong went the fan doesnât woe on cooler like this
Excellent video! Thanks!đ
You are welcome!
Great video. Thank you
Thank you!
Add a 12 inch loop before you hook water line to barb.

I have the same model
Mine turns off and on every 2 minutes when it is on high mode
On medium mode turns on and off as well but not that often may every 5 minutes
Any ideas on how to fix it?
Well shoot, not sure why it would do that. Maybe someone else here can help?
Control module failure. The control module uses a primitive rectifier bridge circuit to convert 120v ac to 30v dc to operate the interface control display. The bridge does not have a heat sink and it quickly burns out ( average life is about 2 years ) .
@@anthonygonzalez7488 would changing out the 100uf and 220 uf capacitors help fix the issue? Iâm having the same problem and thatâs the solution I came up with.. I guess Iâll try it and let yâall know what happens.. I always figure that itâs not working already so I canât break it more đ but thereâs a slight chance I might actually fix it⊠never know until you try đ
Thanks for your good video
You bet! Thanks for commenting!
great video
Thank you!
Change the pads (medium) even if you only run the fan and not water.
I winterized my unit last year and lost the baggie with the screws that hold the back/ louvre...can you tell me what size those 4 screws are so I can replace? TIA
Someone used some toxic solution when he cleaned my filter. Do I need to replace it?
We just got a unit like this. Trying to figure you how to attach it in window with brackets. Directions say attach to window sill and wall. I see you have put a bracket on the exterior stucco. Any suggestions? Great video!
The guys who installed it put the brackets into the stucco, said it was just for added security but probably not important. I donât know if it really makes a difference thatâs just what they said. How did you end up doing it with yours?
thanks for the info but why not just use some box fans lol? without the water running over the pads its essentially a fan
Good point! đŠ Why I (usually) donât use the water on my MasterCool evaporative cooler âïž

I have a lot of calcium build up on the fan, is it easy to remove the face cover?
how do you suggest I clean this?
The face cover is easily removed. Then put towels on fan blade and soak them in vinegar. Calcium wiped off like butter.
Wow! "First remove the four screws..." Out of plastic? How many times will you be able to do that before they're stripped? Built in obsoletion factor.
Do you happen to know how to replace the pump??
What size filter does this use?
3 panels:
Left and right panels: 32.5x6â plus a small 1.5x6â at the top.
Middle: 24-24.5x32.5â plus a 24-24.5x1.5â at the top
They kind of squish into place which makes it a little hard to measure precisely, so the measurement could be off by 1/4 inch or so. I hope this helps.
Great video! Where did you get those bottom brackets for your cooler?
Actually had some guys install it for me before I started doing more DIY đ Not sure where they got the brackets from sorry.
I just use a pressure washer, done in 3 minutes; another 4 minutes to pressure wash the membrane, done
Pressure washerâŠgotta get me one of those!
My pads have a lot of calcium, is there a way to clean them or I have to replace them? Thank you đ
I would just replace itâs probably easier. But if you are motivated, a combination of vinegar and baking soda should do the trick.
@@savemoneydiy1462 thank you very much đ đ
What size are those screws we lost ours
I have a problem with mine. I have developed a leak. It is located where the top cover (the one with the pads) meets the bottom on the right side. I have tried cleaning any mineral deposits that might have prevented the two plastic parts from sealing, but to no avail. The leak appears to be coming from above in the back. The float valve and the water level is fine. I can't figure out why it is leaking but it is a real pain in the butt. I might add, this started recently when I had to replace my water pump. Before that, it didn't leak. Have you had any experience with leaks like this?
Unfortunately - or fortunately - I have not. Did you figure it out?
@@savemoneydiy1462 No, but I think I have come up with a solution. I intend to block off some of the water pathways in the top tray. A few of the ones on the sides. I think it will help. For now, I have two buckets under the cooler on each side to catch the leaking water and have to empty them 2-3 times a day. A true PITA.
HOW DO YOU CLEAN YOUR WATER PUMP CALCIUM BUILD UP...GOD BLESS YOU
If spraying with some force with a hose doesnât break it off, you can try vinegar or vinegar+baking soda. Let it sit on the calcium a few minutes then spray it off.
Hi. I was just wondering why there is a sort of pinch clamp on your black water pump line? Thanks!
Hey thanks for asking. All I know is the guys who installed it did it that way. It looks like they intended to slow down the water flow. I opened it up to see how it would work, and it flows faster but doesnât change the overall operation so far as I can tell. Thatâs the best I got, hope it helps!
Hello Sir, when your push the button of power, on automatic the valve of water start to send water to the upper case, we have a little issues.
Because we are a little consufuded about the connectors, went we connect of rigth form the cables on a time the water is a lot and sounds how pass from the fan, a little time but sound a lot.
I hope i can explain to me
If I understand, are you saying that the water is making a lot of noise? That happens on mine too, but the noise goes away after a minute or two. Let me know if you are talking about something else?
@@savemoneydiy1462 we now what happend, like the air currents collide and it seems that the water splashes on the fan, so it was that.
Very helpful thanks bud đ
No problem đ
Ah you have your float upside down..
Good eye yes I do! It made it more convenient to vacuum around it. Turn it back over if you are going to use the water. I need to do a video on why I donât use the water. The short answer is because we run this at night when the outside air is cooler anyway, so donât need the water to cool the air down so much. Stay cool!
I only have the one black pump in mine. I bought it used. Did you say the red one is a water filter? Is it necessary? Do you change the pads every year?
The other is a purge pump, not necessary. Iâm ok with older pads, but you could change every year or two if you want.
Quick question you have the hose coneccte on the left hand side we have the same swamp cooler and drops lots of water through the side we have the small connector on the right side hand the little how can we stop the water cooking out from the left bottom side of you can answer please and thank you
sounds like the water level is getting too high and spilling out of the overflow. you can adjust your float to lower the water level.
Simple answer, you can't. The mcp 44/59 is a cheaply made Chinese copy of the Australian bon air Durango and as such the plastic injected molded parts fit poorly and it will leak .
Hi what size pads should I get I have the same one at home

Turn to Jesus people he died for your sins. Repent of what the New testament describes as sin. Believe the gospel get baptized and obey the teachings of Jesus. The gospel and the teachings of Jesus are documented in Matthew Mark Luke and John. Jesus is the only way to be saved God bless you all. If you have faith in Jesus through your faith you will live life with him as your example../
I have the exact model itâs only four months old and itâs pushing warm air I live in California itâs 100° today can you tell me what the problem may be?
Check back in a week or so I should have another video finished that may help you. Iâll put a link here when itâs done. MeanwhileâŠDoes yours cool the air a little? Maybe 10-20 degrees cooler? If it does, itâs doing itâs job, nothing wrong with it. The company claims it can cool air by as much as 30 degrees though Iâm not sure that can happen when itâs 100 degrees outside? Otherwise, make sure your water is turned on and working. Run the water for a few minutes before turning the fan on. If you donât the initial air wonât be cooled for a couple minutes until the water has worked itâs way through the system.
I think it might be a bad pump mines doing the same thing
I sprayed the motor in ours today and burned it up, so be careful.
You must have turned it on very soon after getting it wet. Thats a no no....
@@everettconrad4685 yep, got water in the motor. Oh well!
I thought you had to run the water to work ?
Depends how you use it. If you use it during the day, then yes run it with water. If using it at night like we do, then with or without water either way is fine. Hereâs a video on how we use ours: czcams.com/video/OV9x6FYwUZc/video.html
Ours only has one pump is that wrong ?
The second pump is a perg pump and isn't needed.
did you turn off water before you cleaned it??
Yes, in the video water was off at the source, plus the mastercool unit was turned off and unplugged.
Hello I am wondering where you get the material on the swamp cooler pump to filter it is from? Please message back.

@@savemoneydiy1462 thank you!
I do not get it. Why do you use an evaporative cooler without water. Thats the whole point of it.
LOL I know what you mean. We found that cooling the house down at night (with or without the water feature doesnât matter) was better than bringing in daytime air through the evaporative cooler with the water turned on. This video explains how we use it: czcams.com/video/OV9x6FYwUZc/video.html
"We don't use the water feature we just use this as a fan".
Why don't you just install a Whole House Fan in your attic and save yourself all this cleaning mess.
We used to use the water feature, then not as often. Sometimes we still do. Itâs a preference of humidity in the home. Also because we use it at night when the air is cooler outside than inside. For anyone that hasnât bought it yet, yeah a whole house fan is another option. With water feature, this ought to cool the house better than a whole house fan. Thanks for asking!
