ASPEN SNOWCOOL RIGID CELLULOSE EVAPORATIVE COOLING MEDIA
REPLACEMENT INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING — DISCONNECT POWER TO YOUR
EVAPORATIVE COOLER TO AVOID
ELECTRICAL SHOCKS.
IMPORTANT — Cooler media MUST be
installed correctly. If not, performance will
diminish (air will not be as cold as it should)
and water can be pulled off of pads and into
the ducts and ceilings.
Your cooling media is made up of alternating
sheets having two different angles. The 15 degree
angle slopes downward towards the inside of the
cooler. The steeper 45 degree angle should slope
downward towards the outside of the cooler
(towards the air entering side). To help you
properly install your pads, arrows are marked on
the side of the pad that show the “Top” and “Air
Flow” directions (see figure).
NOTE: New pads have a “start-up” odor. To
reduce this, the media should be washed for
several hours by running the pump without any
airflow through the pads. Drain the water pan,
refill with fresh water and start up the system.
Repeat if deemed necessary. This procedure also
helps the water absorption of the new pads. The
odor will also dissipate over time by installing a
purge pump or a bleed-off tee.
Replacement media may not fit as tightly into your
evaporative cooler as the original pads. Using
Styrofoam panels at either end of the pad
assembly can make up this difference.
