Maintenance 
Note: If you notice any damage to your unit, immediately contact the dealer where you purchased it. 
10.  Clean thoroughly all eight cooling pad sections using a garden hose. 
Note: Do not use cleaning fluids or other chemicals to clean the pads or it can cause foaming 
during operation. Use only clean water. 
11. Remove the drain cap from the underside of the bottom and rinse with a hose to flush any 
manufacturing dust, etc. from the unit. Replace the drain cap. 
12.  Replace the pads and the protective retaining grates. 
13. Proceed to “Normal Setup”. 
REGULAR CLEANING 
The frequency with which the WayCool® is cleaned will depend on the environment in which it is used. The 
more dirty the environment the more often it will need cleaning. In most cases the WayCool® will need to 
be cleaned weekly. 
Caution: The pads should be dry before you handle them, as they are stronger when dry than when 
they are wet and less susceptible to damage. If they are wet, run the unit in the HIGH VENT position 
until they are dry. After cleaning, let the pads air dry before you replace them. 
1.  Turn the switch to OFF and unplug the unit. 
2.  Remove the plastic retaining grates and check the pads for cleanliness. If they are dirty, remove 
and clean by spraying with a garden hose, water only. If they are not dirty you will still need to 
remove the cooling pads to clean the inside of the unit. Dirty cooling pads reduce the unit's 
effectiveness. 
3.  Use a garden hose to rinse out the bottom and the inside of the unit. The dirt that accumulates is 
removed from the air during operation, as the WayCool® unit also acts as an air filter. 
4.  Remove the drain cap from the underside of the unit and let the unit drain completely. Rinse out 
any remaining dirt. 
5.  Replace the drain cap (finger tighten only). 
6.  Remove the pump discharge filter by unscrewing the top, removing the screen and rinsing it with a 
hose or under a tap. Replace the filter screen and screw the top back on. 
7.  Remove the pump filter from underneath the pump. Wash thoroughly with a hose. Compress filter 
and place back under the pump. 
8.  Replace the cooling pads once they are dry and reinstall the plastic retaining grates. 
Note: With proper use and regular cleaning, the cooling pads will last about two seasons. If you 
handle them wet and are abusive, however, they will be easily damaged.
