Frequently Asked Questions

What is an air cooler and how does it work?

An air cooler uses natural water evaporation to cool the air. Warm air passes through water-soaked cooling pads, where it is cooled and then circulated back into your space as a fresh, cool breeze.

This is not an air conditioner - it works best in well-ventilated, dry environments.

Where in South Africa does this work best?

Air coolers perform best in hot, dry regions, including:

• Gauteng
• Free State
• Northern Cape
• Limpopo
• North West
• Mpumalanga

Ideal for areas with low humidity and good airflow.

Does it work in humid areas?

Air coolers are not ideal for humid climates. High humidity reduces their cooling effectiveness and can make the air feel damp.

Can I use it in a closed room?

No - air coolers need fresh airflow to work properly.

For best results:

• Keep a window or door slightly open
• Allow air to circulate through the space

How much water does it use?

On average, air coolers use 1-3 litres of water per hour, depending on settings and conditions.

How often do I need to refill the tank?

With a 22L tank, you can expect approximately:

• 6-12 hours of continuous cooling before refilling

How do I clean and maintain it?

For best performance:

• Clean the cooling pads regularly
• Rinse the dust filter to maintain airflow
• Follow the user manual for routine maintenance

This keeps your air fresh and your unit running efficiently.

Is it energy efficient?

Yes - air coolers use significantly less power than traditional cooling systems, making them a cost-effective option for everyday use.

Can I run it without water?

Yes, the unit can run in fan-only mode without water.

However, for cooling:

• Always use water in cooling mode

Important: Running cooling mode without water can damage the pump and void the warranty.
