Question: Does this unit do anything to cool regular water? Because it feels really cool just with tap water, I haven't frozen the ice packs yet. LOVING THIS! I bought it for the garage to play ping pong (super hot here) but am realizing it's so quiet, it will work great in my guest room. My house AC is STRONG in the master bedroom while my guest bedroom has only ONE vent...grrrr, what was my designer thinking? Everyone wants their guests comfortable!

I just plugged my new one in and I LOVE it! But I didn't even know where the "ice compartment" was from the manual, so your video helped me IMMENSELY, thank you so much! (don't you HATE when you ruin something when you guess about such things?)

Thanks for this excellent video tutorial. I am just learning how to use my huge portable one. I believe it is the same brand as your larger one but mine is quite a bit larger with a water capacity of over 10 gallons. I am having a hard time wrapping my mind around how these work. I live in NM and I love the dryness here and this turned my room into Florida in short order. I didn't understand that you have to open some windows. I still don't get how hot air from inside will run outside when it's over 90 degrees out there. I just don't understand the process on a scientific level. I have watched another video that focused on that part but I need to learn more. One thing I found I was doing wrong was I didn't have it level enough to have the water trickle over and go down all 3 sides where the filters or pads are. I had one pad that wasn't getting any water. I need to monkey around with this but it's got a ton of water in it right now and I can't really budge it. It will have to wait. I have to give this time, I know. But to me, an air conditioner works so much better, whether you're in a humid environment or a dry one. Sadly, my RV ac hasn't worked in almost a year and my portable ac unit up and died last night.

ok i see the bigger one has the two pads on side i have the smaller one think im gonna grab the bigger one
