For this cooler to effectively cool

a whole house there must be open

windows or doors in each room

where cooling is desired.

NOTE: Evaporative coolers WILL NOT work in a Closed Room

EXHAUST

Door or window should

be open 4 to 6 inches

NoteAboutEvaporativeCoolers:

Ventilation:

Unliketraditionalairconditioners,evaporative

coolersrequireanopenventilationsystem,not

aclosedsystem.Bothafreshairsourceandan

exhaustopeningarerequiredtoprovide

correctairflow.Typically,apartiallyopened

windowordoorineachroomwherecoolingis

desiredwillcreatecorrectairflowforoptimum

effectivenessofanevaporativecooler.

NOTE:Forbestresults,openwindows/doors

shouldnotbeonthewindwardsideonthe

house.

Waterbleedorpurge:

EvaporativeCoolersrequireacontinuoussupplyofwatertokeepthemediasaturatedformaximumcooling.

Waterpumpedintothecoolermustberemovedfromtheunittoensuremineralandbacteriabuild‐updonot

occur.Thiscanoccurwithagravity‐fedsteadybleedoffstreamoratimedpurgesystemviaapump.Apurge

pumpkit(MCP44‐PPK)isavailableatwww.championcooler.comorat800.643.8341toorder.

CAUTION:Waterexpelledfromthecoolermustberoutedawayfromanyareasthatcoulddodamageto

foundationsorothervulnerableareas.

NOTE:Drawingsinthismanualareforillustrativepurposesonlyandmayreflectslightdifferencesdepending
