Learned something new today. What I thought was normal drainage for a swamp cooler, (evaporative cooler), is most definitely not. I’m unfamiliar with the specifics of swamp coolers as this is the first apartment I’ve had with one.
Brother2 came over to help me with a few things and the first thing he says, “Looks like your cooler is leaking.” Me: “Oh damn, that’s not normal?” Him: “Oh hell no.”
The property co. installed new coolers in May. 🤨🤬
They still haven’t fixed it??? It’s been over a week, right?
Right around a week, yeah.
I’m pretty damn certain that’s illegal. Have you called the state DOH?
Not yet. I'm told it needs a good cleaning and it should be done this coming week. We shall see. If nothing happens, I will then call.
Please don’t wait! 🥺 Did they supply you with fans?
I have 3 fans - one pretty good sized - in my room, plus a ceiling fan. It still gets hot in here, but at least the air is moving around some.
@see_the_sus Oh, no, that's definitely not normal. The spider could be messed up. We had water pour INTO the house one year before hadn't been hooked up correctly.
The spider?? 😧
@see_the_sus It's inside the cooler. Directs the water to the pads. Sort of.like this. https://indoorcomfortsupply.com/1-spider-bearing-swamp-cooler-6686/
Sorry for my reaction, I have a severe phobia of spiders even if it’s just the word.
@see_the_sus No worries!
@see_the_sus
The swamp cooler here has issues, too; it's not working properly. 105 degree days are not good for having that happen.
