How It Works
The replacement of your single stage or two stage central cooler must:
- Be permanently installed.
- Have UL recognized electrical components.
- Come with a water quality management system that provides positive removal of sump water on a regular interval (a bleed system is not allowed).
- Have a single duct or multi ducted distribution system.
- Have either:
- A multi-function manual control switch which offers high and low fan speed, pump on or off and the unit control of on or off. When a multifunction manual control switch is used, pressure relief dampers are not required.
- A thermostat specifically designed for evaporative coolers which automatically controls the unit operation based on the indoor temperature, fan speed, and pump operation. The automatic thermostat must be mounted remotely from the cooler. If new pressure relief dampers are installed, they must be indicated on your proof of purchase.
