    Hi, i have an aqua breeze unit. The unit does not provide a cool air when turned on and the water is continuously flowing. Is it caused by the control board and dump valve? Thanks so much.

    Great informative videos.
    very helpful. I have faulty code 2 on my controller. water is being pumped in, but just draining straight out and fan not turning on.
    however the vent mode fan works 'O.K
    im guessing my dump valve is not working.

    • @NotSealed

      Sounds like the dump valve is not reaching the closed limit and bringing up the fault code. Replace the dump valve and you should be good to go. Vent mode does not need the dump valve to be closed as as such works.

      out of interest, do you know much about these new Seely Climate Wizard CW3/6 for domestic? are they any good. I'm considering going all out on cooling but not the path of refrigeration

      I haven't had to do any work yet on a Seeley Climate wizard. They look nice I just hope the parts are better made than some of their older stuff. Many clients are going full solar and then putting in ducted refrigeration. Good luck with it all. Keep us posted.

    Hey mate,
    I’m having issues with the dump valve it keeps opening and closing constantly once I start the unit and via the panel inside the house.
    And when turning unit off inside the house it still keep opening and closing.
    Do you know why this could be happening? Thanks in advance

    • @NotSealed
      @NotSealed  Месяц назад

      Yes I know what the issue is you need this part amzn.to/4dQQCHV
      Over time the dump valve motor fails and can't press down with enough pressure to activate the limit switch.
      It is easy to replace. Let me know if you have any other questions.

      You will need to take a side panel off and check if the auto vent flap is stuck open. It will be under the fan.

    my dump valve was constantly moving up and down causing water to flow out...I waited for about 5 mins and it kept doing the same thing.
    I replaced it with a new one yesterday and now the machine is working.
    I was surprised as to how cheap those drain valves are made but cost $300 +...

      So ours is not filling itself up with water , if we manually fill it up from the hose it will run for a good night then when it's hot drys out and then switches off and is bone dry
      Is that the dump valve you mentioned?

      Sounds like your inlet solenoid valve is not allowing water to enter the system.
      The drain (dump) valve is what shuts your evap cooler so it starts filling with water.

      These are Australian evaporated air conditioners. Also known as swamp coolers.
      The old ones are much more reliable. New models have too much electronics in them that tend to fail in hot humid conditions.

      Yes it's a cable that plugs into the controller. The drain is simple to remove and will slide right out once to press in the 2 tabs.

      No, rain can enter the filter but it is designed to drain away excess water.
