Terms of Use and Disclaimer

General information only

Our guides, calculators and data provide general educational information about evaporative cooling. They are not a substitute for your equipment's owner's manual, local building and electrical codes, or advice from a licensed professional who can inspect your specific situation.

Safety

Evaporative coolers combine water and line-voltage electricity and are often mounted on roofs. Always disconnect power at the disconnect switch or breaker before servicing a cooler, use appropriate fall protection and ladder practices, and hire a licensed electrician, plumber or HVAC contractor for work you are not qualified or equipped to do safely. You are responsible for your own safety and for compliance with applicable codes and permits.

Calculators and estimates

Calculator results and cost figures are estimates based on stated assumptions and typical values. Actual performance, water use and costs depend on your equipment, installation, maintenance and local conditions. Verify important decisions with product specifications and professional advice.
