- In this video I install and test a device that many of you in the comments recommended I check out that can lower cooling costs by a large margin and make your AC blow colder air. Before installing one of these I would have a water test done and make sure you do not have extremely hard water. The filter that comes with it will take most of if not all of the hard mineral deposits out of many people's water but like all things there are limitations. A lot of this is listed on their website as well. So make sure to do your due diligence and ensure that you wont have mineral deposits being sprayed onto the AC unit.

Over a few years the radiator fins will become coated with water deposits that will be impossible to remove, resulting in costly repairs/replacement, far outweighing the savings of dropping two amps.
I would like to have seen a measurement of the amount of water used during the test period. Depending on how much water is being turned to mist every hour, it may or may not be worthwhile.
I tried this gimmic and scaled all the coils almost cost me my ac
I don't think the increased wear on the condenser is worth the small increase in efficiency. Condensers are super expensive.
Water like that can corrode the connection between tubes and fins.
I don't think this is the best use of treated, pressurized, florinated city water. It might be good as part of a rain barrel or gray water system. Just have the coils underwater and swap the fan for a pump to circulate the water. Water can take up an incredible amount of heat before it boils off.
Unfortunately my area has very hard water, so the cost of replacing the mineral cartridge every few months will negate the electric bill savings. My AC unit is far from my water valve, so that will mean running a long extension across my patio door, walkway, grass etc. It won't be a good solution for me. Also, what are the long term negative effects of constant water deposits onto the condenser coils, I would think mold, mildew, dust, wet leaves, etc. I will have to pass on this mickey mouse solution to perhaps save $25-30 dollars a month. How much is a new condenser unit, $3500???
I wouldn’t
don't see a reference to condenser temp difference. (air temp going into condencer verusus air temp exiting condenser) been putting misters on condensers for decades but only in extreme heat.... a major draw back is the mineral deposits it will leave on the coil especially under frequent use.... next to impossible to remove.... rule of thumb on temp difference inside at air temp being 70 degrees going into the air return; a good unit will produce 20 degree difference or 50 degrees out of a (close to air return) supply register,,,,,,,,,,,acceptable is 16 degrees (54 degrees out of supply register)......a proper sized unit will keep up with heat load up to constant 95 degree days and ocassional 100 degree day (depending on insulation and amount of solar radiation thru glass.) All a/c systems are a compromise between cost of install and operation and "normal" weather in your area.
For everyome saying that water will cause build up on the radiator, youre supposed to clean the coils every year anyways with chemicals. With proper maintenance i think this may be worth looking into. Around my area water is cheap but my last electric bill was $450
A really well made video, so easy to follow along with you. Thank you. I may get one of these as they seem to work as advertised.
I've always wanted the condensate water to cool my condenser coils, rather than sending that water down the drain. Kinda the same way I want outside air to cool my fridge in the winter. :)
Very good and informative video. Thank you
Great video!!!
Thank you to all of you that suggested this! Is your AC unit running more this summer than normal like mine has been due to the heat? I definitely look forward to seeing the energy savings from this install!
will be interesting to see your electric bill in the future. Here in Texas its 107 where I am. We already use a commercial mister on our gazebo and it cuts temps bu almost 30 degrees.
Dude, you rock. I never knew that this kit existed, but did know that cooling the condenser coil could be a help in cooling. Just ordered my Cool
@howtohomediy I just installed the Cool-N-Save today. I live west of Tampa about 3 miles from the Gulf of Mexico. Today it is 93 degrees and 66% humidity. I got less improvement but it did improve. Before - 10.5 run amps, after 10.1 amps. Supply temp went from 61 down to 60.5. I also did use the provided water filter even though I have a whole house water softener system, which includes my outdoor spigots. One tip, I had to off center the paddle to capture the best fan air flow to lift the paddle. I have a 6 yr old Trane 3 ton unit.
Only issue I had is the paddle valve would allow continuous flow so I ended up taping a rock to the paddle, made it work like it's supposed to!
Can you do a follow up possibly 1 month later?
