Thanks for this nice, super short video for this cooler. Obviously you did not intend to show a complete installation video or discuss in any depth issues of roof mounting, water or electricity routing etc. But for what it is, it was worth 2 minutes of viewing. Thanks.
Wow. And I almost got a mastercool. Im about to install a Bonaire 5000cfm down draft and disassembly was an breeze. Went with a roof jack install kit which had all the appropriate flashings and leg stands.
I have a mastercool that is over 10yrs. old. They do work better than the aspen pad models. There are things to keep in mind about mastercool. This year I paid 95 bucks for replacement pads. All plastic fittings on the exterior of the cabinet have been replaced years ago. The PVC pipe that waters the pads and the pads themselves require attention during the summer or it will not run at peak level. I could list a few more things but I do not want to write a novel.
how is your mastercool holding up? i would say they dont make them like they used to. i am on my 3rd one. they last me about 10 years, and are normally dependable. the roof top one i got last august has been one service call after another. at first it was springing leaks every couple weeks. now after its winter hybernation it worked for a week and the pully came flying off and the motor shaft was chewed up. after new parts installed today there is a loud transformer humming sound that the repair technician cant fix. they are bringing more parts to try and quiet it down in a day or 2. lifes annoying and then you die.
It would of been interesting if he had shown how he took the cooler apart and how he put it together . Most of this video is the installer complaining about the instructions and looking at a bunch of parts thrown helter - skelter all over the roof. It's much easier to do a job if you read the instructions first, then arrange the parts in order. These coolers are not a " plug and play " appliance.
Pay attention! Can’t complain if you don’t contribute a link to your own production! The unit came assembled. To get onto roof, I disassembled into parts, then reassembled. Any complaints you may here are head scratching confusion of why engineers designed it the hard way.
Good question. Where are friends when you need them. I looked at case carefully and realized it was easier to disassemble then rebuild. Somebody else had already done this too.
The " manifold " is a real hack job. All taped together with aluminum duct tape. He should of assembled the manifold ( plenum ) using sheet metal to build a one piece box. After a year or two all of that tape will loosen up and it will be air leak city .
Anthony, it’s glued together. Aluminum duct tape same as, guess what, air ducts. Plus, plastic and foam is quieter and insulates better than old fashioned sheet metal.

😂 This is a perfect example of what not to do. Making things way harder.

I sold the house, so I don't really know, but huge hot climate summers no doubt put strain on that unit!

why didn't you ask some friends to help you lift it up to the roof?
