Thank you so much for making this video. My roommate used to take care of this chore at our house. Sadly, he passed away last year. My son and I will be doing it this year and this video was exactly what we needed.

I would think a dual window fan would work instead of a evap cooler taking cool outside air from outside to keep temps cooler inside. Possibly the air flow is more with an evap cooler than a dual window fan. We use our Bonaire Durango all summer here in southern cal. And it has literally saved us several thousand dollars in cooling to cool the house. We only use the central AC when it’s humid outside which is a few days during the summer. Thanks for sharing how to clean it.

@savemoneydiy1462 Год назад

Yes that could work too. If not using water feature, then as long as it is cooler outside than inside you could use either window fan or evap cooler. The water feature on the evap cooler cools the air down a little more. Do you run your evap cooler 24/7 (outside of the humid days you mentioned)?

We just got this unit and it is not nearly as good as the traditional style. It does not move nearly enough air for a whole house. The metal box looking ones with the big squirrel fan inside move heaps of air and also have way more cooling water pad surface. But....your video is perfect. Very helpful. Thanks. Good job.

@f_youtubecensorshipf_nazis 2 года назад

@georgeb1364 Год назад

I got one of these last year to run when possible to avoid using our two central units (7 tons of cooling total) 4,000 sqft house. I live in the Mojave Desert area of Southern California and I have to say it works great in our very dry climate with 100+ temps common. Yes the larger box type units can come in bigger sizes and move more air but they also use more energy the larger you get. As a supplemental unit as we use it they are not loud and take up little space and look decent.

@georgeb1364 We just bought one. We also live in the HD. I have had it two days, my house sits at 85 and it's leaking water. Not sure what I am doing wrong. Very frustrating. Definitely not like the old school one we had in the 70's

Hi great video, I recently had to change out the motor. But now I’m confused which is the purge pump and which is the regular pump. My water is spilling out so I’m currently using my av but I need to get this back on track, it saves so much money. I’m out in Lancaster, ca in the high desert so this is perfect for our weather except monsoon season. Thanks again!

What did you see your water bill increase by from your regular monthly bill? I know these you must have the water on

@cristinarivera178 2 года назад

Hi thanks for this video We have the same cooler at home and our problem is that we used the pump for it and it blows hot air we are 102 degrees here in California and that doesn’t seem to work

@savemoneydiy1462 2 года назад

Yeah sounds like we’re neighbors. With the water pump it should blow air several degrees cooler than what is outside. But if outside is 102 it will blow air in the 90s into the house, which isn’t very helpful. Here’s a video on how we use it to cool the house down as much as possible. We really love using it Spring and Fall, and during any cooler summer nights. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-OV9x6FYwUZc.html

Control module failure. The control module uses a primitive rectifier bridge circuit to convert 120v ac to 30v dc to operate the interface control display. The bridge does not have a heat sink and it quickly burns out ( average life is about 2 years ) .

Good eye yes I do! It made it more convenient to vacuum around it. Turn it back over if you are going to use the water. I need to do a video on why I don’t use the water. The short answer is because we run this at night when the outside air is cooler anyway, so don’t need the water to cool the air down so much. Stay cool!

Hey thanks for asking. All I know is the guys who installed it did it that way. It looks like they intended to slow down the water flow. I opened it up to see how it would work, and it flows faster but doesn’t change the overall operation so far as I can tell. That’s the best I got, hope it helps!

If spraying with some force with a hose doesn’t break it off, you can try vinegar or vinegar+baking soda. Let it sit on the calcium a few minutes then spray it off.

@Nevada_Jack 2 года назад

I have a problem with mine. I have developed a leak. It is located where the top cover (the one with the pads) meets the bottom on the right side. I have tried cleaning any mineral deposits that might have prevented the two plastic parts from sealing, but to no avail. The leak appears to be coming from above in the back. The float valve and the water level is fine. I can't figure out why it is leaking but it is a real pain in the butt. I might add, this started recently when I had to replace my water pump. Before that, it didn't leak. Have you had any experience with leaks like this?

@savemoneydiy1462 Год назад

Unfortunately - or fortunately - I have not. Did you figure it out?

@Nevada_Jack Год назад

@@savemoneydiy1462 No, but I think I have come up with a solution. I intend to block off some of the water pathways in the top tray. A few of the ones on the sides. I think it will help. For now, I have two buckets under the cooler on each side to catch the leaking water and have to empty them 2-3 times a day. A true PITA.

@truckstoplegdrop 2 года назад

sounds like the water level is getting too high and spilling out of the overflow. you can adjust your float to lower the water level.

@anthonygonzalez7488 Год назад

Simple answer, you can't. The mcp 44/59 is a cheaply made Chinese copy of the Australian bon air Durango and as such the plastic injected molded parts fit poorly and it will leak .

@savemoneydiy1462 2 года назад

Check back in a week or so I should have another video finished that may help you. I’ll put a link here when it’s done. Meanwhile…Does yours cool the air a little? Maybe 10-20 degrees cooler? If it does, it’s doing it’s job, nothing wrong with it. The company claims it can cool air by as much as 30 degrees though I’m not sure that can happen when it’s 100 degrees outside? Otherwise, make sure your water is turned on and working. Run the water for a few minutes before turning the fan on. If you don’t the initial air won’t be cooled for a couple minutes until the water has worked it’s way through the system.

We used to use the water feature, then not as often. Sometimes we still do. It’s a preference of humidity in the home. Also because we use it at night when the air is cooler outside than inside.
