I just live in Home Depot in the hot summers, back in the vanity cabinet section, they never suspect a thing. They think im a habitual customer, if they only knew lol.

Where you live they are effective. I like where you put yours because of the safety element. You’re house can easily be broken into if you have them in the wrong place. High humidity in a house can be much worse than low humidity. I mean excessive humidity. Another cool product is called a whole house fan. A company called AirScape makes them. They are a great way to change the air in your house and attic. It’s a brilliant and old style of “free cooling”. AirScape uses ECM motors to move the air. Look them up. It does require the outside temp to drop at night for them to work well. Again dependent on your location just like the evaporative cooler. Great topic Vegas! I have been in the HVAC trade for 26 years and I am 45. I love all kinds of heating and cooling tech. I also love 2Ts and even 4Ts😜

I live just down the road in Kingman AZ. We have had over a week of 100 degree wether. (July/Aug. 2020) I have used a Mastercool type evaporative cooler on my house for over 40 years and it works just fine except during Monsoon season when the humidity is high. Years ago I took it off the roof and ducted it into the central line so I could service it while standing on the ground. I also have ceiling fans in every room which help immensely in blowing the cool air downward. Evap coolers typically reduce the outside air by 20 degrees. There is a new 2-stage cooler which, I am told is even better. They are not perfect but are economical and easy to service yourself. Just keep it cleaned and oiled and you are good to go. And yes, the humid air is much better for my breathing.

I just got one from Home Depot. It works great. Keep in mind, im in Mesa Arizona. Humidity outside is high for the area. It's 20%. I'm from South Florida. It feels dry enough to me. I'm used to 99% in Florida.

Hi mate I live in Western Australia where it gets really hot and sometimes very humid. Christmas day forecast is 105f and the swampy just can't keep up and when humid we have to turn it off because everything becomes wet, then we run refrigerated ac. I do agree that some humidity is good for us 👍

Thanks for the video....best video yet on why I should buy an Evaporative cooler and not A/C

Hi from Perth, Western Australia. We use a ducted evaporative ac, Breezair, with 5 ducts throughout the house. Very common here. Only a few days a year when it's too humid to use with water so we have it on fan only, works fine. BTW we run ours for about 4 months straight during summer 😊

So I had to figure out how a evaporated cooler worked on my own. I inherited my mother’s house . And it’s 70;miles outside of Vegas. On the way to Death Valley. The best thing someone told me. Was to direct the cool air. Open the window where you want the cool air to go.. And I have an air conditioning unit. But it cost double the swamp cooler as far as power. So the swamp cooler is the only way to go in my opinion. Once you learn how they work. I never use the A/C ..

Most plants will love the humidity too. And for people living in apartments/condos (sharing indoor air) , humidity will reduce the chance of getting infected by various viruses.

If humidity is healthy ,I have it made here in Pittsburgh! Sometimes ours is 90% in the summer.

1. price 2. price 3. cost 4. price 5. money jk but those are 5 solid reasons haha. Im in dry CA myaelf so def getting a swamp cooler

I'm testing an 20 years old sonic humidifier directly under my desk to cool me down with no air conditioning nor fan, the fine haze gets my legs cold and helps me through the day. If I plug a fan gets definitely colder but the wind hurt my eyes in the computer. It creates a very thin haze close to the ground in hot days, almost like dry ice. My dog seems to like it. Although I used it to the minimum or the house gets real foggy and it I feel like drawing lol.

Can it be placed in the same slot at the old central air? Central air on floor.

Yeah your bill is so high because it's Las Vegas. Swamp coolers won't work as well in the Southeast where it's hot but also humid, since "swamp coolers" work by evaporative cooling and highly saturated or fully saturated air doesn't allow that to work as effectively. In the Southeast a compressor AC unit, which dehumidifies the air, is actually ideal. So just keep in mind what your local environment is like because that will determine which is better

Have one here in Spokane WA, works great for me.

I got this cooler after I saw your video last year this is currently the second summer using it and I love it. One question is there any cleaner I could run in it a normal use bases to help keep it clean?

Oh dang! My leather couch has been cracking lately and it doesn’t get a lot of use. It’s probably due to dryness in here!

Many people in certain parts of the United States use Evaporative Coolers as a portable option of cooling a small space and because of the natural process heat doesn't have to be vented out. These coolers don't work in humid regions of the country. So I've always wondered why they can't use refrigerator/freezer technology to create small portable air conditioners to cool small spaces. If you stick your hand in a freezer the air blowing out is colder than air coming out of a window AC, yet the refrigerator either vents little to no heat that you can feel. This doesn’t make sense because we are told you can't have a refrigerant based air conditioner without venting out the hot air yet refrigerators contradict that. Even if a small AC using the refrigerator method doesn't produce enough cold air to cool an entire house or large room they would make effective small room coolers similar to Evaporative coolers but a little colder. Such a portable space cooler would sell off the shelves especially in the Southeast United States where swamp coolers don't work. I'm surprised no one is doing this.

great video, have a question I changed the pads and pump works fine but doesnt feel that cools the same, I usually had my fan low speed and it blow way colder last now this year is not bad but not the same any ideas why? thanks

$350 electric bill??? 😱 Im bitching about $150/mo.. Where I lived a few houses back, I could run the a/c all the time, and it wouldn't even hit $75..

I used to get bloody nose sometimes as well when I was a kid growing up in Fresno Ca with no humidity.

I just bought the Bonaire Durango 600. For my RV. Once I get it setup I will post again how it works out. We are at Government Wash. So it gets crazy hot. With my inverter it should be able to power it with no issues.

Thanks for the video, I am considering buying one, I am in Reno. I wonder how long the media element lasts in these coolers. Anyone know? In small humidifiers the media element wears out quite fast.

Great video, very informative.

can you help me next summer? i'm here in vegas, but i'm in a trailer, which literally attracts heat. I might need to redo the insulation. but i need advice, i'm constructionally challanged LOL

Buna! You should make a cost comparison now that its summer in 2023! Va rugam.

How do you get an air tight seal on the outside of the cooler? I can feel air coming outside.

Swamp coolers are fine for the SW, however once you get above 90 plus...they cant keep up, but what a savings for those coolers days in the 80s

I live in Belize and its very humid already. Would this be a good option for me?

Help please. Bought a house with this cooler. Its still winterized. How do I fill the water for initial startup? Thx!!

I live in high humidity and cooling units that add moisture in the air do not work in Oregon you need something to thin the air not make it thicker

Wanted to see where you put it in your house!

Would this work in a humid environment like North Carolina?

Does it keep cool in over 100 degrees? Maybe up to 115? 350 sq feet

Im in east Europe dont need that lol but if i ever move to vegas i ll get one haha😂😂

I live Alberta that is subject to hot dry summers so evaporation or swamp coolers would be effective. I would never use swamp coolers in Ontario where they experience very hot, humid summers. In their case, change in state AC plus humidification is critical but expensive. Swamp cooling is less efficient in hot humid climates. Too much humidity is just as bad if not worse than too little. The other problem with excess humidity is it's able to hold onto a lot of other air pollutants. I myself am uncomfortable with humidity and prefer slightly dry, crispy mountain air, instead of humid low country air. If you still think AC is too expensive then your house building envelope is clearly not built properly with the right quality of sealing, and insulation system. You can also have your AC programmed like a furnace in cold climates so it's only operating when you need it. My AC bill for the summer is less than $60/month for a 45,000 BTU split and that's with $0.08/kw electricity meter rates. I pay a more for power transmission service charges than total kw of electricity used in a month.

Another question when running do I have to leave my windows open?

No problems with hard water ?

Hot? Remove your sweater.

I live in Indonesia. Surabaya city. Humidity 50-60%. Summer all year. 35-40 Celcius / 95-104 Fahrenheit. Does it work in my house???

Does it work in the Phoenix metro am moving to surprise az

Omg I live in the desert in ca an my house came with window evap. My ele bill is only 73 bucks omg I would die if I had 300 bill

I put Russian vodka in my swamp cooler.

A/C can be very cheap to run. Your in the states can't see how it could cost 3x as much as here in the UK.

If I use this every day doesn't the humidity accumulate over time? I'm not gonna open my window to let the moisture out, hot air will get in!

If you really wanna save money.."rig" your service meter, lol.

Most importantly you do not contribute global warming any more :D. Great job mate.

Watching this video when you're wearing a sweater talking about how hot it is makes me feel some type of way. Don't know how to fully describe it or give a word to it. It's just funny & odd.

Here a tip. GET SOLAR PANELS

Dang bro. You made 5 videos today and 0 yesterday? Man you stay wack😂😂. Good shit tho

too much talk
