LOVE the cellophane idea! I'm at 7,000' in New Mexico where the $60+ ($50 + $10 shipping+tax) cover's only last a few years... even our Oct. through May sun is intense enough to break down anything. And they get tattered and torn in our strong winds, and can even blow off if not tied down really well. THANKS, u saved me time, hassle and money!

Hi, Ty for this video. Hubby is too busy to winterize and I’m starting to realize that I need to figure these things out. I don’t mind since knowing and doing it myself helps me feel like things are right. I appreciate the video so much. I’m going to do all of these checks. I just wanted to say how thankful I am for this video and others like it. ✨

Thank you, so much.

[@newfdogg]

Thanks always wondered what a swamp cooler was.

[@diyhvacguy]

Right on! Glad it was informative for you :)

This is a very helpful video! Thank you !

Thank you DIY HVAC GUY ( October 26,2023) I value your “‘direct to the point “ of how to do things. Also I like you camera views show us the items Wim about the video and not you.

I’m on Louisiana, they don’t work here, the humidity doesn’t evaporate the water. But I bet they are great on the west and spend super low electricity compared to a normal ac.

[@diyhvacguy]

Yea, as hot as it’s been getting lately though I’ve had a lot of retrofit, abandoning the swamp cooler and adding central ac.

[@Adri_57]

They are amazing in the desert.

[@hitekrednek66]

Great vid! We don't use them in Oklahoma much because of the serious heat we have and the humidity in spring and early summer. But appreciate the info none the less. Thanks!

[@diyhvacguy]

Of course! I’d never seen one until I moved to Utah but man they are so easy to work on!

[@janeroberts2522]

I'm in Colorado. My "guy" had me remove the pumps and put in the garage over the winter. I do have a cover for the cooler

[@AndresBeltran-i1j]

Gracias por el video amigo very NICE

In the first 3 seconds i could tell it was slc are you a 1 man van ? Im in commercial hvac here

[@michaelillingworth7476]

Hi. The house doesnt have a plate to cover the hole going into the house? My swamp here in NM had that. Also, I always kept the pump and belt inside the house over the winter. Swamp covers are typically found at Lowes and Home Depot's here in NM late summer and falll seasons.

[@julienpenaruiz]

Hi there. Can you install a roof evaporating cooler and connect it to my existing AC/heater vents

[@roxsanshaw6691]

Why wasn't the water supply line drained? That would cause major problems if left full of water, wouldn't it?

[@Sara-dz1kg]

If I'm in the desert (113 today) and don't use it for the summer, I don't need to drain it (no mosquito standing water bc it will evaporate on its own) and just have to prime it when I use it again, right?

[@321garret]

Is it ok if there is a little lip so the water doesn’t 100% drain out? Will the small amount of standing water freeze and cause issues?

[@diyhvacguy]

Yes that’s totally fine

[@DesignLead]

How often do you have to replace the aspen pads filter?

[@diyhvacguy]

About every 3 years but some folks choose to do it sooner

[@bobbygetsbanned6049]

That roof looks high, be careful up there. It's also terrible for a shingle roof to walk on it, they should move that thing so they aren't taking years off the life of their roof every spring and fall by having someone walk on it.

[@jacec5855]

I’m sorry but cellophane does not keep cold air out of your home in sub zero temperatures, if there is no damper in your ductwork then some type of insulation and a good canvas cover is needed.

[@diyhvacguy]

Never had an issue with this. And for the most part it’s just keeping heat in, because heat rises 👍🏼

[@Syphus323]

im cringing when you let it drip onto the roof bro

[@diyhvacguy]

Isn’t that what the roof is for? 😅

[@terrybredthauer1866]

Me too. I don't like hard water streaks going down my roof. I think we hook a hose on there

[@terrybredthauer1866]

But I appreciate the lesson
