Evap Open-Up Advice

What's the Most Important Consideration When Opening Up My Evaporative Air-Conditioner for the Warmer Months?

Hygiene is a critical health factor. Then from a cost point of view it needs to be confirmed that the entire system, including filters, ducting and pumps, is in the best condition. This ensures you aren’t wasting power and water.

What’s the best way to do this?

Engage a qualified technician to check and adjust your evap system before each summer season. Our technicians will ensure both electrical safety and operating efficiency, including water use. Filters and pads need to be cleaned or replaced and the water reservoir flushed and refilled. While the risk of contracting legionnaire’s disease from evap coolers is minimal there are potential risks of airborne bacteria and algae health hazards in poorly maintained systems.

So what can I do to prevent this?

Ensure the filters are kept clean. If you need a new filter we can supply and install one to suit your specific system.

What other cleaning products do you work with?

Our sanitiser helps prevent airborne bacteria and lasts all season. We also use a range of products that attack odour-causing compounds rather than just masking the smells. Never neglect servicing on an evap system.
