Control Switch: (view)
The WayCool® WCG-1HPMF-OSC control switch is mounted on the outside of one frame leg
It has the following positions:
OFF - Power is off to the blower motor and the pump motor.
LOW VENT - The blower runs at low speed and the pump is OFF.
HIGH VENT - The blower runs at high speed and the pump is OFF. Use this setting to quickly dry the cooling pads for removal and cleaning.
LOW COOL - The blower runs at low speed and the pump is on. Use this setting for low cooling loads.
HIGH COOL - The blower runs at high speed and the pump is on. Use this setting for maximum cooling.
PUMP ONLY - Pump is on and the blower is OFF. Use this setting during startup to first saturate the cooling pads, then switch to LOW COOL or HIGH COOL to begin cooling.
Water Supply System:
Once the unit is manually filled, the bottom can be supplied continuously with an ordinary garden hose by attaching the supplied hose adapter to the fill connection, or it can be re-filled manually.
With a continuous water supply connected, the float valve in the bottom (like the one in your toilet tank) rises and falls with the water level. A linkage attaches the float to the shutoff valve in the fill connection. As the water level rises to normal operating level (about 3" deep), the float valve shuts off the water supply. When the water level drops, the float valve reopens to maintain a normal operating level.
After unplugging the unit, the bottom can also be manually filled with a hose or bucket; if a hose connection is impractical. Simply remove any of the plastic retaining grates and one of the cooling pad sections and place the hose, or pour the water, directly into the bottom. When you fill the bottom manually it can be filled to a higher level, but make sure someone monitors the filling operation to avoid overfilling and flooding.
Note: Water damage due to overfilling is not covered by the warranty.
Note: When you run the unit and manually fill it, check the water level frequently so it does not run dry. Operating the pump without water will damage it or reduce its service life. This is not covered by the warranty. The cooling effect also stops if the pads dry.
Note: Pads and grates must be replaced before operating unit.
Optional Replacement Media Pads
(# WC-1HPPAD) (View Image)
One Full Set includes 8 Media Pads
Due to the design and construction of the cooling pads, cooling efficiency is normally maintained near optimum throughout the life of the pads. (Approximately two seasons)
Optional Water Cleaners – Sold together
Water Conditioner Tabs (10 Tabs per Pack)
(# WC-CTAB & # WC-CLNR) (View Image)
Water Conditioner is recommended to control odors found to be present in some water sources.
• Place the tab under the float valve water outlet for quick, fast odor control.
• Place the tab next to the pump for longer lasting and more constant odor control.
Cooler Cleaner Bottles (12 - 1 Pint Bottles per Pack)
WayCool® Cleaner is recommended to remove scale buildup from the water supply system.
• Clean WayCool® according to the instructions on page 13 of this manual. (View Manual)
• Refill with water and add one (1) pint (16 oz) of Cooler Cleaner Treatment to the water reservoir.
• Operate the WayCool® in the "pump only" mode for approximately 20 minutes.
• Drain, clean and refill the WayCool® with fresh water.
• Repeat treatment steps if deemed necessary.
• Operate WayCool® in normal manner and repeat treatment when evidence of scale build up begins.
