Two Water Fill Options
-
Continuous Water Fill: Simply hook up a garden hose to enjoy constant and continuous airflow.

Manual Water Fill: A spring-loaded water fill door opens to manually fill the water tank.
-
Manual Controls: On the control panel, you can choose from three fan speeds, activate the water pump to saturate the cooling media pads, and turn on oscillation.

Air Swing Delivery System: The optional oscillation feature pushes air from left to right with the louvers for even distribution.
-
Cooling Media: Three hi-density XeL50 rigid media pads, one on each side, keep the cooling process reliable and consistent by providing more evaporation surface than other coolers with a single pad. An indicator light on the control panel lets you know when a pad needs cleaning.
-
Water Tank: The water reservoir holds 14.6 gallons, providing up to three to four hours of constant cooling. An easy-to-read water level display indicates when the tank needs to be refilled.
