- bit.ly/SwampCoolersFAQ Evaporative coolers (aka swamp coolers) are alternatives to traditional portable air conditioners. They consume less energy than traditional ACs, since they use the natural power of evaporation to cool your space. This video explains how swamp coolers work, and explains environmental conditions when evaporative coolers would be the best cooling solutions.

*Needed a cooler for a work cubicle **Fastly.Cool** . It did just what I needed, so easy to used and really cooled the space. I am glad that I got it and would buy it again.*
Cool. Honest communication from a big company? delighted to see it!
"our product is good for some, not everyone" Which is always true but marketing people try and pretend it isn't.
Hi Lukas - Our goal is for our customers to find the proper product for them. Swamp coolers are great for certain applications (but not all). Thanks for your feedback
@@Sylvane You're welcome. Are u technician also? I'm looking for a way to control temp AND (de)humidity in one room. Normal AC or AC + dehumidifyer?

In India Evaporative Air Coolers are a runaway business on huge scale ! Metal sheet box fitted with Wood wool pads are used to su
ck moist air with combination of a exhaust fan and cheap submersible water pump ! Very easy to install and maintain in hot summer of central India !
When you start the video and it's turn out a product advertisement , but I was searching for it's inside mechanism
For those curious in installation and performance, we mount it in the wall with a water pipe connected to it(water float valve for constant autonomous water supply)It's so popular here in sudan that almost every house has one, and they cool so well since our dry sahara air is torturous.
Hi @better air with sylvain, I am from the Philippines. We used to have an evaportative air cooler. Based on experience, it only cools the direction which it is facing. The rest of the room remains warm.
Benedict Cecilio Caguioa I just bought one yesterday. Should i toss it out? Its complete garbage and does not work. Still 32° in our room. Im so dissappointed. Can I replace it in Ace Hardware with an Aircondition unit?
Dawn Bajado not sure hot to answer your question though. Like you I am also a customer looking on to buying one but based on your testimonial and my past experience, I think I’ll try other alternatives.
So sad that it didnt work. :( good on DRY CLIMATE. Not on HUMID ones. And Phil is a humid one. :(
Dawn Bajado im trying to consder a mist fan. Wanting to see if it could cool the room a bit.
Benedict Cecilio Caguioa whats a mist fan?
Very handy knowledge any time with your finger tips...bravo U tube.
I love swamp coolers
It is very effective on our home specially like when I added water our air at our house becomes cooler like when you are at the mountain
I think I had a stroke reading that.
@@zzzhuh ME TOO LMAOOO
@@zzzhuh Some dickhead threw a cheap hit at the end of my hockey game cause he was mad we were crushing them. Mildy concussed. Glad I don't have a stroke now lmaoooo
Y'all really need to stop mocking his grammar, yeah we all know you all are american so stfu
@@christopher4443 Thank you so much ❤️😊
Thanks for the video............................................................. & THUMBS UP :D
ty
Why grass is used in Air cooler? Does air cooler has exhaust fan to suck outside air?
Can these be use in cooling off attics. The heat is tramp in my attic hallway. I need to get that air out and circulated. I have a window ac? But it can do so much but cool of my room. But leaves the hallway hot
Depending on your attic, evaporative coolers can be used for this application. You need to make sure the humidity level is low (below 45%) and there is a fresh air source available. If so, then you can use this cooler. If not, you may want to consider another cooling source. Sylvane's customer service team can give a personal consultation at 1-800-9349194.
yeah
The water in my cooler is yellow. Can you please help?
I live in a humid area I was hoping this would work instead of buying an ac unit because they are so expensive
It will be ineffective in humid climates
Swamp coolers cannot add more humidity to an already humid climate. In a humid climate the cooling effect will be little to none.
chrisfi3d C I agreed did experience it
just buy ac unit its totally worth it
Check your humidity, if it's 90%, no.
These are great if you like sitting around in cool, clammy air.
It performed better than I expected . Air very comfortable in 24 inches of it.
Great
Good
So If I want the cooler to be effective in a hot day , I have to have a door constantly open , letting the hot air coming in the house , or place the cooler outside and wait for it to cool down the whole earth... Genious !!!
Best in hot DRY climates. Not effective in high humidity.
right now outside is 73% humidity, Indoor is 48%
@@StokeleyZ your area is too moist to use it
@@StokeleyZ I have 95% humidity and I live I the caribbean so I guess this is not for me.
I cannot help but disagree.
I am an expat living in Lima, Peru. It is a costal deswrt with high humidity year round (90%) yet rarely rains and only then it drizzles.
It never gets hot enough to need A/C, but we use these swamp coolers all over.
It is the summer now (in the southern Hemisphere - Jan. 2020) and it gets to about 82-87 degrees.
We have three of these portable air coolers. One for me, anither for my wife when she often works on her masters, and one for our pet rabbits which really need it to stay cool, but not too cool.
You should see how they gather round to lay in front of it on days like today.
I really don't get why it is said they don't work well. You can feel the difference.
@@paulgaither well I live in a humid country too. I'm just wondering how well these would perform, and what I've been seeing online is, quite a number of people say that it doesn't work that well in a humid climate, but those that do live in humid climates claim that these things work well, so I'm really not sure who is telling the truth
The honeycomb on doesn't moist. I think water is not going thru it. How do i fix this ?
This is likely an issue with your specific model. Referring to your owner's manual or contacting the manufacturer who created your product is likely your best bet. Depending on how your specific model is designed, you may not be able to see the process as easily as on other evaporative coolers - if it's adequately cooling your space, it may be working just fine.
good for a garage?
If you are working in front of a computer all day and dont want the expensive A/C electricity consuption. This is a good unit to blow all day long direct to you, unless otherwise.
does it cool air if I only put water without ice?
@@MrForeverBean well yes, but probably not as well. Idk how much worse it will do,since I don't own one, but it will definitely reduce how well it cools you down, could only be a slight difference, or could be a huge difference, idk
@@MrForeverBean I think so, just prob not as well. I built one with a 5 gallon bucket. Still don't understand how the internal air/exiting air hits 68 degrees when ambient was 73 lol
This is just a big ole fan. The room does not get cooler. You must sit in front of it to be cooled off. And when you open the door for the air to circulate, all you get is hot air blowing all around. So if you are okay being stuck in one spot, it's great.
A R lol they are suppose to cool outdoor air coming into house/establishment!?
(These are not whole house designed!?) so I'm a little off target on purpose of door opening....
Crack a window.... not jus open a door while it runs near by on the floor?!
Long time ago, was used at laundry mats! Air came in from the ceiling(swamp cooler on roof blowing air down inside) with the entrance doors & windows cracked(blowing air out of the building!
Someone has the wrong concept of how these worked from long time ago?!
Mayb place in front windows & crack open back windows for cross breeze affect!?
Anyway if it's humid like in Georgia! Texas? This may not work above 85 degrees outside?! When it's hot it's hot!!!
U can warm winter air many different ways :wood/fireplace steam electric/ heat pumps gas furnace etc....
But you can't extreme cool air without an air conditioner!!!!!
That's compressed refrigeration circulation with powered blower motored air!
U can cheat for a while with a set up & bag(s) of ice.... but you'll have to replenish with another bag of ice to stay cool...
Question is how long will the ice (chilled water & ice)last?!
I have a house one and it works decent if you crack a window. That's because it's bringing outside air to the inside and it needs am escape route so it doesn't get muggy inside. The positive pressure inside the house prevents air from entering through the window. Idk how the portable ones work though as far as that, but you are right, standing right in front of one is great. :)
Basically for anyone stuck at their desk, like those who game, or have to work from home, etc
Why would anyone use one of these outside?
It would be if you were blowing it right on you as you worked. We use one in this warehouse that I work in, and it really only works if you are standing near it.
Spot cooling.

so not good in Virginia near the swamp then.
Yeah I am glad I watched this it'd be terrible for me too I live on wetlands so a swamp lol and does it get humid here!
These things are popular in Asia
Heard you were dead
why did he put vodka in the cooler ?
"Because it's completely natural," lol. So, that would make heat pumps, what - magical?
it won't lower temperature, but perfect for Costco shopping warehouse, using cool tap water instead of expensive a/c electricity.
Evaporative coolers are historical, they have used in ancient Egypt thousands of years ago, before the invention of vapor-compression AC.
How to get it turned on
Waw
They make your room moist.. and uncomfortable
He said hot dry air.....what about hot humid air....
Yeahh i didnt know that it does not work on HOT HUMID AIR
@@bewithdawniie4330 sadly it will not work my friend.
This is perfect for areas where the humidity is low, not high. It all boils down to thermodynamics
2:05 for more what?
you remind me of tony dunst
So it exchanges heat for humidity, leaving you at the same perceived thermal comfort (since humid air causes more discomfort than dry air by slowing down sweat evaporation from the skin). And costs money to do this. Brilliant.
no it works for adding cool water and ice to the tank and the machine pumps it up and then the cool water gets the cardboard wet and the fan blows the cool air from the cardboard
Wrong.
Humid air causes more discomfort than dry air *at the same temperature.* Sweating is basically evaporative cooling, evaporating sweat makes the air humid but your body is cool, evaporative coolers are basically offloading that task (cooling your body through sweat) to that machine.
@@AnimMouse Exactly - so it makes the machine feel better so you don't have to. You will feel just the same as before. :)))
@@d0nj03 Hahaha, that's funny but sorry, that's stupid also. Actually, evaporative coolers are more efficient than our sweating, because machines are active (they use fans), while sweating is passive (relying on convection). At the same temperatures and humidity, evaporative coolers will beat our sweating. And also, we don't need to use energy in order to sweat, we offload that to that machine.
They simply don't.
The first thing to know about evaporative coolers... they're just a fan that you have to put water into, and won't cool anything.
Wait… I’m trying to cool the house inside from the heat outside… and the recommendation is to open the door while the thing runs?? Kinda defeats the purpose huh?
Save your money, buy an air conditioner. This technology is so ancient and inefficient.
Yeah, definitely not practical here in the soupy Southeast
These small coolers don't work. Waste of money. Not enough surface area of the pads to provide adequate evaporative cooling.
They are not more efficient
they definitely are, the only energy it needs is to bring air into the chamber and keeping the sheet wet unlike AC which work on compression of air
It is also known as a poor man's AC
Lmao why buy an expensive air cooler? When I can covered wet towel on my fans table . It works the same
Hi Ted - We appreciate your response and want clarify the difference: These coolers have significantly more powerful fans, heavy-duty parts, cooling media designed for evaporative cooling, and put out the proper amount of moisture for cooling. Towels and standard fans are no comparison.
I tried it and broke my fan.
@@brothermyboy8226 lol
@@brothermyboy8226 dang. Did you get a new one?
@@foxgaming76yt24 yep

THEY DON'T COOL.
