Evaporative Cooler Question
Not sure how many of you will know what I'm talking about, but I'll do my best to describe it. With temps in the 80's and 90's, it's time to get our evaporative/swamp cooler up and running.

I'm having issues getting water to the cooler. Kind of.

So I've had it hooked up for years running a water line off of the sprinkler valves using a t-valve. Never had an issue with it, just open the t-valve to send water to the cooler, close it in the winter.

Today, I went to open the t-valve, and no water. The only way I could get water through that line was by opening up the solenoid (twisting it counter-clockwise). That got water moving, but it also turned on the sprinklers. I can't seem to get water to the swamp cooler without turning on the sprinklers. Am I missing something obvious?

Don’t they only cool down to the surface dew point?

As I understand it yes. Point of Evaporation.

I don't know. I live in a backwards ass state that still has such terrible things as Air Conditioners....

Buy a home warranty and then in about 30 days call them and tell them your units aren't working.

I have an AC too. You have to. Swamp coolers don't work on humid days, and generally only bring the temp down about 20-25 degrees from the air temperature...so once we go over 100 I turn it off and go with the AC.

But when you live in the desert, it's a must-have, unless you have solar.

Honestly thought about that. Units are old though. I assume they have people do that all the time right? Couldn’t possibly work?

I think you can get a home warranty for about $300. Pretend its a "Stop Loss" and your 2 units are GE

I don't know - we lived in Phoenix when I was a kid and we only had an Air Conditioner-Central Air. (at least as I remember it).

Here in Kansas, you don't have Air - the odds are that they will find you, shriveled up with your head stuck in the fridge.

In the summer - routinely gets to say, 97 degrees with 95% humidity.

I am not sure how much a person is really saving by using a swamp cooler over their A/C system.
