How to Keep Your PortaCool in Top Condition
While PortaCool units are built to last, regular maintenance is essential to prevent mineral buildup and odor issues.
Use Swamp Cooler Tablets to Prevent Scale Buildup
Hard water can leave behind mineral deposits, clogging cooling pads and reducing efficiency. Using Evap-O-Matic Tablets helps:
✅ Break down mineral buildup
✅ Prevent odors from stagnant water
✅ Extend the lifespan of your unit
Flush the Water Tank Regularly
Draining and refilling your unit’s water tank prevents the accumulation of bacteria and algae, keeping your cooler running smoothly and efficiently.
Inspect and Replace Cooling Pads as Needed
Cooling pads play a crucial role in evaporative cooling performance. Over time, they may become clogged or worn out. Check them periodically and replace them when necessary.
