FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (continued)
Q. WHAT IS THE BEST ENVIRONMENT FOR THE PORT-A-COOL® UNIT TO
PRODUCE THE MOST COOL AIR?
A. For optimum performance, the temperature should be 85˚ F or higher and the
relative humidity should be below 75%. However, PORT-A-COOL® units will
reduce the temperature in almost any environment, making it more pleasant.
Q. WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN EVAPORATIVE COOLING AND
MISTING SYSTEMS?
A. Misting units spray a shower of water into the air that will collect on people,
objects, equipment, floors, etc. The PORT-A-COOL® unit uses the process of
evaporation to produce cooler air, but does not discharge a mist.
Q. SHOULD I OIL THE FAN MOTOR?
A. That is not required. The motor bearings are sealed and cannot be oiled.
Q. WHERE CAN I BUY REPLACEMENT PARTS?
A. Unit replacement parts may be purchased from any PORT-A-COOL® product
distributor or directly from Port-A-Cool® Parts/Technical Support department.
You may also visit www.port-a-coolparts.com to order online.
Q. HOW OFTEN DO PADS HAVE TO BE REPLACED?
A. Depending on the quality of maintenance and frequency of use, pads typically
last up to five years. However, should you have any questions about the life of
the pads for your unit, please call our tech support department for more detailed
information about replacing your pads.
