Evaporative Cooler Care Book

April 30, 2008

I don’t normally make product sales pitches here, but I was contacted by a guy in New Mexico who has written a book all about evaporative (swamp) coolers - how to “summerize”, “winterize”, repair, and generally maintain, complete with pictures and descriptions.

You can learn more about it at his website, EasyCoolerCare.com.  Given the amount of questions I field from people buying homes with swamp coolers, this book looks like it might be a fabulous $10 (plus $5 shipping and handling) investment.

There’s a section of the Easy Cooler Care book available free via PDF file that you can download and read - it’s a guide to helping you figure out the proper sizing, make, model, and so on for your cooler.  I think that’s pretty helpful if you don’t know how to measure for pads or what size pump to purchase.

• Lessons Learned from Canadians Buying Tucson Real Estate (April 29, 2008)
