Default Swamp cooler questions



Steve,
Just fyi, the drain hole should have a plastic tube in it that's high
enough to allow the water to collect. At the end of the season, they
can be turned over so the water can drain thru them. You mentioned
"Someone
butyled over the drain hole, though. It was mounted on a flat surface, so
I
guess they cut it off for that reason.", so I was curious if the tube was
just upside down.


Rob

No, tube is gone top and bottom. It was done, and flashing put around the
base to goop it on to a flat roof.
