Air Coolers and how to use it the right way,
The Air Cooler also known as The Swamp Cooler sometimes are misused and people get to return it to stores for the reason that they woke up literally wet.
How to use it properly
Rule number 1: The Humidity
- Do you live in humid areas, and humidity level is above 60% to 100% do not turn on the humidifier feature as it will blow water vapors to fix dry air. Use only this feature your humidity level is below 50%.
Rule number 2:
- Open windows or door. The air cooler will work properly in a well ventilated area, do not use it on closed rooms such as computer rooms or server rooms. This will totally ruin your computers.
Rule number 3:
- It is not a replacement for air conditioners (Freon) it is just a fan that blows cooler air by sucking air from a “water curtain” to make the air cooler. (You can put Ice in the water tank for much more cooling effect)
Notes: always clean the filter and the water tank regularly, some air coolers left outside are infested with mosquitos. But, I never had this problem as we only use it indoors.
You can check the humidity level by using a hygrometer, it’s cheap. Many dollar stores have it.
