Port-A-Cool Maintenance Information
WINTERIZE YOUR PORT-A-COOL® UNIT
With the arrival of cooler weather, now is
the time for owners of Port-A-Cool® units to prepare for cold weather storage of
Port-A-Cool® units. Correct storage is fundamental to keep Port-A-Cool® units
operating at top performance when needed.
FOUR STEPS TO
STORAGE
1) Drain all water
from the sump tank and clean, ensuring that the pads and sump are completely
dry.
2) Clean out the in-line strainer. Remove the spray bar and clean out any
debris. Reinstall after cleaning.
3) Disconnect and roll up any electrical power cords and any hoses so that they
will not be trampled on, tripped over or caught in equipment.
4) Cover the Port-A-Cool® unit completely to prevent dust build-up and store the
unit in a dry area. This also helps prevent damage to the pads for longer pad
life. Covers are available to fit each size unit. Please visit
accessories page for more information.
