Problems with swamp cooler water distribution. One of three pads getting
little water. Tried pushing a small snake through the tubes and they seem
to be clear. Evidently the water distribution hub is plugged up. Anyone
have any ideas to clear it without disassembling the whole distribution
system? Temps are well above 100 and will get worse as time goes on. I'm 78
with back problems. Anything other than hiring ($$$$) it done?

All I can think of is to remove the hose and screwed in connecting tube
from the hub and try to poke a wire into the troubled tubes. I don't have
much faith in that idea and it will be very difficult to get at.

Suggestions? Probably no easy way.

TIA



Consider trying to blow the tubes/hub clear with a can of compressed
air. Office supply stores (Staples, Office Depot etc) sell them for
cleaning computers, printers, etc.
