How to use the Arctic Air Pure Chill

[@imitationsofmyself]

Thank you for this! I just bought one of these at the thrift store today for $4! NO LIE! No USB cord, box, or instructions but it is indeed a 2.0 model. A color changing one! This video was really helpful! Thanks!

[@TomLeeman]

Fantastic! Glad to hear you got it working and happy holidays

[@imitationsofmyself]

​@@TomLeemanhaven't tried mine out yet! I will this weekend! Happy Holidays too!

[@Khamthegoblin]

omgg, i just got one too for $4 at a cool discount place! Excited to use mine & this video was so helpfull

[@Urbanbarbie943]

Thank you. This video helps so much. I didn’t think the directions on the product were the best.

[@TomLeeman]

No, it’s really hard to follow directions sometimes they’re not very intuitive. It’s best to do visual learning. Thank you for watching.

[@aneiceepoo]

Same 😏

[@crisslastname9417]

This was VERY helpful! I just received mine today and I thought the power cord was bad. Turns out I wasn't pushing the usb connector in hard enough to "snap" in. Also, my instructions had nothing on how to access the pad. I was afraid I was going to break it. Your video was more helpful than the instructions I got.👍

[@TomLeeman]

It’s kind a hard to get that USB in there. Good luck enjoy.

[@admirosmankovic1065]

Purchased: August 2022 - still works GREAT! kzbin.infoUgkxxsUnXhGsSJLim_XnMHyQK0u3XVaW-CGn I live in a studio and during the summer it gets scorching hot - really old building with no ac units. I can’t express how EASY it was to install.This unit has been a life savior during the summer and some days during other seasons where it can still be a bit warm at night. In this small place is my friend, a husky, poodle mix and myself. We need AC - lolI don’t use the dehumidifier option - I’m not sure if it will leak in my house, since I did not install the small draining hose that came with it. May look into it late but I don’t worry about much humidity in the apartment.I don’t understand why the negative reviews since all things mentioned, I personally did not find issues with. Definitely worth it!

[@TomLeeman]

Excellent keep cool and thanks for watching

[@rubylimey7614]

Couple of questions.. How did stop the vibration n how many hrs until u had to refreeze the tray??

[@toniamacdonald6591]

Thank you for this video! I don't understand written instructions very well and I was having a hard time and did not want to ruin the system. You showed it very easily and didn't extend the video any longer than it needed to be

[@TomLeeman]

You're welcome! I usually try to get to the point on stuff good luck and thank you for watching and stay cool

[@omegaentertainment1]

Dude! I was trying to follow the directions and I couldn't figure out how to get the filter out to soak and freeze! I felt like an idiot haha. Thank you for this quick tutorial and I appreciate that you got straight to the point. Subbing. Cheers!

[@TomLeeman]

Thanks for those kind words. Keep cool.

[@derekox]

Same thing with me and my mom doing this together!

[@fernidadjames3188]

you can put ice in the top chamber along with water

[@TomLeeman]

I don’t see why not

[@peterkrahn2224]

Hi thanks for the instructional video about how long did you leave the cartridge in the freezer for?

[@TomLeeman]

I just stuck it in there until it froze. Leave it overnight.

[@TomLeeman]

That’s a great deal. Stay cool thanks for watching.

[@alienmicrobes]

I will try the freezing, but so far works fine just soaking the cartridge. Also, it's okay to fill the water to the top.

[@TomLeeman]

Good tip!

[@rubylimey7614]

How many hrs before you reset the trap n did u have Any leaking??

[@constancehaft]

Thank you for your reply...unfortunately they have a 60-day deadline for return and I passed that quite a while ago, but thank you for your reply and for confirming what I sort of suspected!!!

[@TomLeeman]

Unfortunately, these things are super cheap but I think they charge 40 bucks for which is ridiculous. Sorry to hear you can’t take it back. Good luck thank you for watching.

[@tisalynch6788]

Thank you so much. I lost my directions 😱 You make it sound so easy. 😊 thank you

Wish I would of seen this video before I bought one. Thanks for posting.

[@JenXOfficialEDM]

Thank you for your video. I have the old version and offered it to my friend in the southwest. Mine works for about 20 minutes. Am glad to know the 2.0 works better. I sent your video link to my friend. She is a 79 dearie in NM. :)

[@TomLeeman]

Thanks for sharing

[@Martie-il2pd]

How do you get the moving water effect? That looks so cool in the video. Mine doesn't do that.

[@TomLeeman]

I think this one was a little out of sink with the blades

[@debbieviera2564]

Got mine for $5 at my work in winter time lowes marked them down for us 5 bucks mine works fine ,

[@TomLeeman]

That’s a good deal

[@JackieCollins-x3o]

Just own and setup, ran for 40 minutes and shutdown! Any suggestions., I didn’t freeze cartridge!

[@TomLeeman]

You’ve got to freeze that cartridge to make it work unfortunately good luck thank you for watching

[@rubylimey7614]

How long did you freeze for best results??

[@lunarrainbow2501]

How long is it supposed to be in the freezer for the cartage because the directions don't really say how long to have it in there I just got one and soaked it and put it in the freezer but wasn't sure how long it had to be in the freezer for

[@TomLeeman]

Thanks about an hour to freeze

[@lunarrainbow2501]

@@TomLeeman ty ok I wasn't sure it says that u can freeze the cartage and use ice and water but it didn't say how long in the freezer

[@constancehaft]

I followed all of the instructions and when I pushed the "on" button it just has a flash of light but does not turn on. Would you happen to know how to fix this? I called the company and they did not know. Thank you very much!!!

[@TomLeeman]

You may have a lemon or a bad one I would take it back and get a new one from wherever you bought it

[@CRiZLA]

Most people wont know about the frozen cartridge unless its a new thing? Nice!

[@seirraprouty6912]

Is the fan in the back working because mine isn't and I can't figure out how to turn it on.

[@TomLeeman]

Sounds like you might’ve gotten a lemon I would take it back to wherever you bought it. Get your money back or have them replace it with a new one. Good luck. Thanks for watching. Stay cool this summer.😎🤙

[@FinsUpDolphins1710]

I got me 2 lemons. Payed the separate fee for the 2nd one and both are broken.

[@blackheart8737]

Do I have to freeze the cartilage??? What happens if I don’t

[@TomLeeman]

If you freeze the cartridge, just colder get cooler air, but it works without freezing it good luck thanks for watching

[@josephfbuck]

I have one and it works just soaking in water. I never thought about freezing it. Cause I thought I damaged it but far is. It's ability to cool for just me up close. That's fine, right in my face, just not the room.

[@TomLeeman]

Yes, these things are only good for like a desktop blowing directly at you. Thanks for watching.

[@kingeleven3820]

So these dont cool down a small bedroom about 200 sq ft?

[@rubylimey7614]

That was my question too🤔

[@cjones3093]

That plastic cartridge is going to lose its coolness very quickly; is the cartridge filled with some kind of gel like they have in ice packs?

[@TomLeeman]

Not this one

[@booksgurrsandpurrs]

Thank you so much for providing a step by step. I appreciate all the other comments as well so I don't feel like the only one that couldn't figure out how to get this contraption started. 😂😂😂

Hope you enjoy it!

[@QueenBee-fh1jv]

How to fix the water not wetting the filter. The product is brand new. Followed the directions but no water coming out

[@TomLeeman]

You soak off the blue filter and water and then you put it in your freezer and freeze it then you put it back in and then you fill the water on the top the idea is it flows through the ice frozen blue cartridge and cool the air

[@tenalewis7819]

I had some difficulty trying to get to the cartridge😒. Thanks

[@TomLeeman]

They don’t make it easy staple this summer and thanks for watching

[@TomLeeman]

Good luck stay cool merry Christmas

[@Angela-kv5sb]

You say an hour, but the box says 10 hours. How long does it really. For me, it will be used in my car when I'm at a park chilling 💛

[@TomLeeman]

It last more than an hour, but you have to remember there’s water in it so if you put it in your car, you may have some water spillage if you’re hitting bumps and stuff. Good luck thanks for watching.

[@bethanyharris8145]

Mine keeps leaking from back what am I doing wrong and it’s second one same thing so I know I’m doing something wrong

[@TomLeeman]

You may have a crack in the plastic somewhere I would take it back and get a new one

[@gozgal]

So I don't get the moving water effect and I feel like the water isn't filtering down to the sponges. I know it isn't because if I check them after a while they are bone dry. Someone gave this to me as a gift and I'm afraid to tell them that they got ripped off...

[@TomLeeman]

It is a pretty cheap thing and it doesn’t last too long

[@carolsarafin4228]

I tried using in the car plugging into the USB & it wouldn't work, Why?

[@TomLeeman]

Oh, I don’t know about using it in the car things like the water spill out

[@millardhunter8911]

The C cord is made different from other c inputs

[@Mrwhatits]

Screw the cartridge I just put ice cubes Right where the cartridge Goes and there you go and actually works a lot better with ice cubes Right where the cartridge is

[@TomLeeman]

Good idea

[@jameswright6438]

Does the table get wet in front of the unit without the filter?

[@TomLeeman]

@@jameswright6438 I would have to try that to see

[@gumballboi3574]

You can make led switch the smooth mode on. You can just hold the led button and move it a little for it to work thats what I did mine

Thank you. You explained it very well

[@TomLeeman]

Glad I could help stay cool

[@TheVan2727]

Is there a secret to getting the big fan at the back of the unit to turn or is mine broken out of the box?

[@TomLeeman]

This unit has to be plugged in to a block and have a USB plug into the back of it

[@TheVan2727]

@@TomLeeman Not sure I follow. There's one USB C spot on the back for the power cable included. That's it.

[@TomLeeman]

@@TheVan2727 yes and you have to have your own block to plug it in when she got it plugged in it should work

[@TheVan2727]

@@TomLeeman Not sure what you mean by "plugged into block". Is that a term for plug the power cable into a power source? Either way, the fan in the unit will not work. I got a dud in that regard. The other problem I had with this unit is that after being on for 10-15 minutes, the power plug got so hot that I needed a potholder to unplug it from the wall. There's no way it's not a fire hazard. I've already returned it to the store for a refund.

[@TomLeeman]

@@TheVan2727 sounds like you got a lemon take it back get your money back or exchange it

[@adrianarballo179]

I tried it one time isn't exactly really pan out or anything so I just ended up returning it.

[@TomLeeman]

Yeah, they’re not the end all for cooling be something you might put on your desk, but it isn’t gonna cool a room

[@MrBurlingtonNorthern]

It really Sounded cool, but I'm not impressed with having to freeze that cartridge to use it for it to keep cooling. I was hoping it was like a mini version of the bigger air units.

[@TomLeeman]

All of these are D cares are evaporation and frozen ice. They’re not like regular AC units.

[@z0h33y]

You really dont need to freeze the cartridge, but it does enhance the "cooling".

You are so welcome! And stay cool this summer

[@taleprime]

Why are you holding it down? Seems like it's fighting back to move around ..

[@TomLeeman]

This one had a broken fan blade, so it was vibrating

[@stefanclayton326]

Can you use it in your vehicle using USB cord to your lighter

[@TomLeeman]

I guess you could try but the problem is there’s water in it so if you hit any bumps, you may have splashed it around, so I don’t know if I would do that but you could try

[@alinesmith685]

Can you tell me if the converter get hot after a while? Mine did, and i am worried. Thanks.

[@TomLeeman]

I will have to check on that and see if it gets too hot I would turn it off

[@michaelserratos536]

Can you put ice cubes in water up top to keep water colder?

[@TomLeeman]

I guess you could try and see what happens

[@joewinters6201]

That's what I've been doing and it works I'm sure you figured it out by now

[@harrybriscoe7948]

The instructions say to use ice

[@Sadeeaful]

Yes u can

[@Noah.Nation]

After like 20 min, water was spilled everywhere and place you put water in was empty. Anyone know why?

[@TomLeeman]

Should just be messing out of the front of it, but they may have a problem with yours. If there’s a broken fan blade, it will shake.

[@wrenfernandes1722]

freeze for how long in freezer?

[@TomLeeman]

I just left it in there a couple hours

[@carlingas666]

Does the water flow trough the filter? Why not use ice water? Or stick some ice cubes?

That’s a good idea. Try to see if it works.

The air isn’t cold and I froze mine, as well as put ice cubes in the water tray (instruction manual said it was ok) and still no cold air.

[@TomLeeman]

They’re not the greatest product for sure and they only drop the temperature a little bit coming out one I have had a broken motor fan blade that’s why it was vibrating

[@halseyrobin]

Lol. Set the dry cartridge in a bowl of water to soak the sponges. Freezing the cartridge or adding "iced" water is not necessary; but cold tap water. The machine works as a "evaporative air cooler" and will work on high properly (if filled with water), up to 8 hours, 10 on medium, and 12 on low. Did you get the instruction manual with your unit? You stated this wouldn't work longer than the cartridge remained frozen. That's not the case. 🤔
