Ahhhhhhhhh. Living in the desert ............. it's 105 today.
My swamp cooler was making odd noises, so I checked it. The pump was wearing out and making wierd noises.
Went to Homer's and got another. While there, I encountered a water dumper that exchanges the water after eight hours of running time.
I believe that this cooler uses softened water, because at the beginning of each season, it looks like Carlsbad Caverns inside. This exchanger touts that it will make everything run better, and keep the deposits down. It also claims that it will save water, which I find hard to believe, since it dumps all the water after eight hours of use.
Long story short, I got one, and am going to try it on one of my swampers. I have two. Anyone have any experience with these?
They are spendy, coming in at $48 per.
Advice and anecdotes appreciated. Puhleeeeeze, only desert rats that know what a swamp cooler is need reply.
