The first part of making any item stand out from the competition is the engineering that goes into the product. At Portacool, we have a whole team of engineers dedicated to making our Kuul evaporative media as efficient as possible. We consistently have the lowest pressure drops, highest evaporative efficiency and longest lasting durability of…
Read MoreIf you believe your evaporative cooler is adding too much additional humidity to the environment, try the following: Open a door or window – evaporative coolers need fresh air to work at their best. Use the water adjustment valve (all Portacool products have these) to restrict the water flow over the evaporative media. While this…
Read MoreWe disagree! You CAN use our evaporative coolers, you just have to use them correctly. The key here is that you are going to have to 1. Keep a door or multiple windows open, and 2. Sacrifice some cooling efficiency to ensure you keep the humidity levels as low as possible. You can successfully use…
Read MoreNo! The design of Portacool portable evaporative coolers allow for complete molecular evaporation of water – what the heck does that mean?!?! Our engineers are so smart…in normal person language that means only a pure, clean stream of air is blowing out. Some people might say that they do not agree because of the smell…
Read MoreWhile evaporative coolers achieve significant temperature drops in more arid climates and drier spaces, they can provide relief from the heat in any climate due to the advancements in evaporative cooling technology. These aren’t the swamp coolers of years ago! Even in hot and humid areas, such as Houston, you can still expect to see…
Read MoreMaybe. All Classic Portacool evaporative coolers and Portacool Cyclone evaporative coolers require a standard three-prong 115-volt electrical outlets. Portacool Jetstream evaporative coolers EXCEPT the Portacool Jetstream 270 (PACJS270) also use a standard three-prong 115-volt electrical outlets. The exceptions to standard outlets are: Portacool Jetstream 270 (PACJS270) requires a 5-20R power outlet; the Portacool Hurricane 360…
Read MoreAll Portacool Cyclone, Jetstream, Hurricane and Hazardous Location evaporative coolers come with an automatic low water shutoff. When the evaporative cooler is out of water, a red light will illuminate on the control panel and the pump will shut off. If you have an older model Portacool evaporative cooler, you can chat, call or email…
Read MoreYes, the fan and pump motors are separate systems. You can run one without the other with no damage to the product. That said, however, you will not receive the same degree of cooling by only running the fan. For evaporative cooling to happen, water must be running over the evaporative media.
Read MoreThe model/part and serial numbers can be found on a metal plate on the outside of the evaporative cooler. Model/part numbers begin with the letters “PAC.” Serial numbers are all digits.
Read MoreWith no direct water source available, the water will evaporate in a filled tank within two to 10 hours of operation, depending on the water capacity of the evaporative cooler, ambient conditions, temperature and humidity. A water source for refilling the tank is recommended by the manufacturer. Most Portacool evaporative coolers can be connected to…
