7two bolts hold the metal angle retaining bar and the cooling pads in place. Next, remove the angle retaining bar and set toside. Now you are ready to remove your unit’s cooling pads.7.2 Removing the cooling padsBefore your start, make a note of the direction of the angle of the pads flutes (see sideof pads). You must put padsback in correct order for your unit to functioneffectively. (Note: Install steep side 45° angle flute to the back of unit.)Once the retaining angle bar is removed from the top of your QuietCool unit, reach to thetop of the dry cooling pad to the left and gently take hold of the top of the pad and gentlypull back and slightly down – this action will loosen the pad from the unit. Look at thedirection of the angle of the pad flutes (side of pads). Remove the cooling pad and proceedto the nextpad. Then, remove all five cooling pads and gently set in a safe place.Note: this is a good time to take the cooling padsoutside and run clean water over the pads to remove any accumulated dirtand debris. Do not use high pressure hose – this will damage pads and their ability to function effectively. Make sure thepads are thoroughly dry before placing back inside the unit. Full exposure to the sunlight is a good way to dry the padswhile helping remove mold and mildew.7.3 Daily maintenance15 minutes before quitting time – turn off the water pump and let the fan run 10 – 15 minutes – to dry out the cooling padsbefore leaving. Inspect the cooling pads to make sure they are thoroughly dry (this action helps to reduce mold and mildew)when pads are completely dry then turn-off fan.7.4 Periodic maintenanceDepending upon your environment and how often you operate your QuietCool will depend on how dirty your water gets inthe reservoir and how often you will need to clean it. If you begin to detect an algae smell coming from your unit – it’s timeto flush your QuietCool reservoir with fresh water. Refer to and follow the steps above in 7.2 and you will only need toremove 1 or 2 of the cooling pads from the left side of the unit to gain access to your water reservoir. Take a small spongeand clean out your water reservoir with a light cleaner and wipe it down completely and let the unit dry. (You may want touse a wet / dry shop vacuum to clean out unit). When unit is clean add an Evap-O-Matic tablet – then replace your coolingpads (make sure flutes are facing correct direction) retaining bar and bolts and add fresh, clean water back to the units’ waterreservoir. Note: Adding Evap-O-Matic helps to reduce algae, mold and mildew. You can get the tablets by ordering from theQuietCool order form found in section 9.0. Simply follow instructions on the label. You may want to consider a WaterStabilizer to remove harmful calcium, scale build-up and algae – see section 9.0.Note: You may want to remove most of water from water reservoir by attaching a garden hose to the drain valve and placethe end of the garden hose into a drain then, running pump until sump is dry – shutting off pump immediately.Warning! Do not run pump without water in the reservoir. This action will burn up your QuietCool’s water pump. |
