Murray, Utah- October 8,
2019- Mr. Expert Plumbing Service is pleased to deliver a few tips for
homeowners regarding winterization and their home’s evaporative cooler, or also
known as a swamp cooler. By winterizing the swamp cooler for the colder months,
homeowners can expect to save on maintenance costs during the summer season.
Before getting started on the winterization project, homeowners
will need to cut the power to the unit. This crucial step can prevent shorts,
damage to the unit, and is necessary for safely working with the unit. After
unplugging the evaporator, the water supply to the cooler will need to be shut
off. To do this, identify the supply value and disconnect the waterline. The
excess water will need to drain. If the particular unit doesn’t have a slope,
it will need to be tipped to allow water to flow out.
Owner of Mr. Expert Plumbing Service, Mr. Luis
Castillo, also offers this suggestion, “ Every fall a home’s evaporative cooler
should be left open to drain and allow all moisture, including rainwater to
escape during the winter months.” To do this, homeowners should drain the
cooler completely. Another useful tip, Mr. Expert Plumbing Service adds, is to
use a Shop-Vac to suck any remaining water from the reservoir. This will remove
not only moisture but also any built-up debris in the lines and tank.
For those that don’t have a cooling cover, this is a great item
to pick up. The cover will stop air from entering the home, thus saving money
on energy expenses. If a home doesn’t have a damper, a cooler cover is a must,
adds Mr. Expert Plumbing Services.
These are a few suggestions for winterizing an evaporator
cooler, and fantastic tips to ensure its longevity. Homes that are equipped
with a swamp cooler should being to winterize at the first sign of fall, as the
overnight temperatures begin to drop.
