Greenhouse Evaporative Air Cooler (80171)

4.43 stars, based on 7 reviews
Screened Venting & Cooling all in one!Evaporative air coolers, also called pad or swamp coolers, have proven to be one of the most effective cooling systems for a greenhouse short of an air conditioner. It pumps water over the special cooling pads...

A must have for the Summer.

Love this air cooler! Great size and it’s doing the job perfectly. Very Easy to use, all the buttons are really simple to understand, and surprisingly amount of wind even on low speed.

We have been using for a while now and it’s working really well.

Excellent build quality!

If you’re looking for a great alternative for a rustproof and powerful evaporatorative cooler, this is it! Built from strong polymer plastics, you won’t have the rust issues associated with expensive coolers built with cheap metal enclosures.

Multiple settings on cooler make it easier to adjust to seasonal changes.

Incredible bang for the buck!

Excellent Evaporator Air Cooler

I am enjoying my new air cooler for the greenhouse. I live in Arkansas and it works well to cool the greenhouse until I winterize during the cold months. Works so well during the heat of the summer and adds humidity to the air.

Had an issue with my fan and sent the company an email and had a response the following day. They remedied the problem within a couple of days and sent me the parts I needed and was back working within a week. Very quick to respond to emails. I was very surprised at how easy it was.

So I think I was the first one or at least one of the first to receive this Greenhouse Evaporative Air Cooler. My son and I installed it in a few hours. I purchased a Hamilton 3 in. H x 30 in. W x 30 in. D Condenser Pad from Home Depot to sit the Cooler on at one end of my greenhouse. We made sure that the pad was level in all directions. This is very important during the entire installation as the Cooler will be holding water that must stay level to maintain the proper 2" of water. We also placed 2 - 24" 4X4 pressure treated lumber to raised foundation for access to the drain plug. These were fasten to the pad with screws. We first assembled the duct for the cooler than installed the duct on the main cooler cabinet. I installed the float switch that would fill to the proper water level. I first installed the float switch upside down easier to see the screw to adjust the float but as I discovered just will not work. I found that adjusting the float switch was not as easy to get the 2" of water in the pan of the cooler. I would get 1 1/2" to 2 1/4". I settled on the 2 1/4" but may need to work on this more. During the entire process we used the Cooler unit with the duct attached for alignment . After getting everything assembled and leveled we came to the scary part as my son said of the installation. Making the opening into the greenhouse. We used the assembled Cooler unit with the duct up against the area of the greenhouse when we planned to enter the greenhouse and with a sharpie we made out pattern. My son used a Oscillating Multi-Tool to make the opening into the greenhouse then we pushed the unit and duct in though the opening. Next it was time to install the louver. Then we used clear silicone to seal and waterproof the opening on both sides. Note about the Louver. There is no where in the installation instructions that the outer louvers are manually opened. I thought that something was broken. But the great staff was fast to answer an email that there was nothing broken just that louvers had to be manually opened.

ACF Greenhouses: Thank you for the feeback! We have updated the installation instructions with your recommendations.

I purchased this evaporative cooler to replace another expensive brand of cooler that suddenly quit after four years. The design of this cooler with side and rear pads translates into more cooling capacity, and this cooler can keep my 9' x 12' greenhouse cooler on the lowest setting when the prior cooler ran continuously on high. I also like the swinging louvers which helps to distribute the air. I plugged the cooler into the Surestat DT20 thermostat I purchased with it which turns it on and off throughout the day, never allowing the temperature to exceed my setpoint. I am so happy that I found this cooler!

Would not buy again, feels cheap and is dangerously designed (or lack thereof)

Some of the side panels were damaged in shipping, I had to basically re-assemble the swinging register because it all came apart in transit, after a few hours of use I started hearing sparks and smelling burning wires, the swing power supply wires were shorting out due to water (go figure) This thing is a safety hazard without having a GFCI plug.

ACF Greenhouses: I'm sorry your cooler was damaged during shipping. Sounds like the wiring may have been damaged as well or came loose during installation causing it to spark. Let us know if you would like for us to send you a replacement cooler. We will be happy to replace it free of charge!
