Cooler Guard Q & A

Q: What is Cooler Guard?

A: Cooler Guard helps prevent scale deposition in evaporative coolers.

Q: How is Cooler Guard supplied?

A: Cooler Guard is supplied as a solid polymer block.

Q: I have a large evaporative cooler for my building. How can I tell what to use?

A: Cooler Guard is sized for 2,000 cfm, 4,000 cfm and 10,000 cfm coolers. You can use multiples of these for odd sized coolers.

Q: Is Cooler Guard an acid?

A: No. Cooler Guard is not an acid and will not affect metal parts.

Q: I have to drain a lot of water from my evaporative cooler, and this increases my water bill. Will Cooler Guard help?

A: Yes. Cooler Guard is designed so you can shut off your bleed-off valve. You will need to remove the sump water, and replace the Cooler Guard every 4 – 6 weeks. If you discharge even 1 gallon of water from your cooler a minute, this amounts to over fourteen hundred gallons per day – a very expensive proposition.

Q: Can Cooler Guard remove old scale deposits?

A: Yes. Cooler Guard has removed old deposits from pads that previously were mostly plugged with scale.

Q: Do I ever need to clean my cooler when I use Cooler Guard?

A: Yes, you should drain your sump and rinse it out thoroughly before each use of Cooler Guard.

Q: How does Cooler Guard work? Does it dissolve scale?

A: Cooler Guard works by breaking down the scale deposits into very fine, almost molecular sized particles that are kept in suspension without the use of harmful acids. Every four to six weeks, even the small particles may deposit, so you should drain and remove the water at that time.

Q: Where can I purchase Cooler Guard?

A: You can call our office at (800) 766-9057 to ask for the nearest distributor.
