Why We Like It – Hessaire MC18M

The Hessaire MC18M evaporative air conditioner is a compact alternative that’s suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, and one that’s got a large enough water capacity to offer close to 4 hours of cooling before it requires a refill.

Filtration

In most evaporative coolers, it is the evaporative material (cooling media) that filters out any unwanted particles from the air that is sucked in, and this helps make sure that the air getting circulated remains uncontaminated. This also applies with the Hessaire MC18M, so you shouldn’t expect it to be circulating dusty air, or air that’s got pollen grains or particles.

Key Operational Points:

Pump must be primed per instructions prior to use. Your cooler must be positioned in front of an open window or door if it is to operate effectively. Always ensure that there is another open window or door through which the air can exhaust from the room. Ensure the filter is kept clean throughout the summer season. At the end of each day run your cooler on FAN ONLY for 30 minutes to dry out the filter Prior to putting your cooler away for winter, always: a. Drain the tank and wipe out clean. b. Clean the filter c. Reassemble and run on FAN ONLY for 30 minutes to dry out the filter.
