Cooler Guard

Save Pads

Cooler Guard prevents and dissolves mineral scale buildup on cooling pads effectively prolonging the life of Cooling Pads. Replace pads less often, with Cooler Guard.

Save Water

Once scale is dissolved, Cooler Guard allows for the evaporative cooler bleed-off valve to be turned off, saving gallons of water per day. The water saving value of Cooler Guard saves money and is better for the environment.

Save Time & Money

Cooler Guard releases cleaners, descaling agents, and dispersants into the sump water, eliminating the need to clean pads manually. Cooling pads last longer and cool more efficiently.

What causes scale on Evaporative Cooling Pads?

Scale formation on cooling pads is primarily caused by the evaporation of water, which leaves behind minerals. Water deposits minerals such as calcium and magnesium on the cooling pads as water evaporates. The concentration of these minerals in water, often referred to as 'water hardness,' directly impacts the amount of scale accumulation; the harder the water, the more minerals that are left behind, and the greater the buildup over time.

This accumulation of mineral deposits, or 'scale,' on cooling pads has several detrimental effects on the performance and efficiency of cooling units. Scale acts as an insulating layer on the pads, hindering water absorption and evaporation, which are key processes for effective cooling. As a result, units with scaled pads must work harder to achieve the desired cooling effect, leading to increased water consumption, higher energy usage, and accelerated corrosion. Ultimately, scale buildup significantly reduces cooling efficiency.

Minerals such as calcium and others are found in water

When water evaporates, minerals are left behind

The 'harder' the water the more minerals left behind

Mineral deposits continue to build over time

Cooler Guard dissolves existing scale and prevents new scale from forming, simply by placing it in the sump.

Cooler Guard offers superior performance by design. Cooler Guard emits time-release± cleaners, descaling agents, and dispersants into the sump water, which is then circulated by the units' pump. It is effective at dissolving current scale and other buildup as well as guarding against future scale deposits. Cooler Guard keeps scale in suspension and cooling pads effective. Cooler Guard's ability to keep scale from settling on pads, also allows the unit to run with the bleed-off valve turned off.

How does Cooler Guard Remove Scale on Pads?

Cooler Guard sits in the reservoir, continually releasing cleaners, descaling agents, and dispersants into the sump water. The pump distributes these agents throughout the cooling pad. With the bleed-off valve off, the concentration steadily breaks down scale and other buildup. Scale will begin to crumble like sand. Empty the reservoir and Replace Cooler Guard after 30 days. That's all it takes to remove scale from cooler pads when using Cooler Guard.

Evaporative Cooler Without Cooler Guard

The same Cooler after using Cooler Guard

As the pump moves water, it also distributes the cleaning power of Cooler Guard.

Cooler Guard is a polymer matrix that houses cleaners, descaling agents, and dispersants. Cooler Guard is water-activated to release its proprietary blend into the sump water. The cleaners are then distributed throughout the pad by the unit pump. Cooler Guard does not dissolve and leaves behind no residue.

Save water

Cooler Guard Saves a lot of water. It's ability to keep scale in suspension, allows for the system to run with the bleed-off valve off. It's only necessary to change water when replacing Cooler Guard in the Sump (resevoir).

If you discharge even 1 gallon of water from your cooler a minute, this amounts to over fourteen hundred gallons per day. Wasted water is an added expense and costly to the environment.

Don't use an evaporative cooler without Cooler Guard. Cooler Guard saves cooling pads, water, time, and money too.

Cooler Guard is a time-release± maintenance product that’s safe on pads and effective on scale. It's good for all evaporative coolers.

For all evaporative coolers, portable or stationary

Never use a pressure washer or scrub pads

Cool cell pads are not able to withstand pressure. This is especially true when the unit is wet. The paper falls apart. Never use chlorine bleach or acid-based cleaners. They will substantially reduce the life of the pads. Avoid using micro-biocides “splashed” into the system in huge dosages that dissipate rapidly. This leaves the system unprotected from one treatment to the next.
