Needed new cooler pads for one of our Breezair evaporative coolers. I pushed the original pads to 10 years, too long for efficient cooling. Replaced the other unit pads at 8 years. They are projected to last 5-8 years.
This time I opted to try the aftermarket Dial manufacturing brand made in Mexico. Pleasantly surprised these were as good and appear to be better than the OEM Breezair Chillcel pads. $130 for the set of four vs. $313 from the local distributor-dealer protection network. An easy job to install them myself saving another $250. Thanks to Peach Tree Hardware in Grand Junction!
Replacing our old Essick metal box coolers with Breezair coolers was the best investment we ever made on our home. This will be our 11th year of use with the Breezair coolers. I'll get them operating tomorrow as the temp hits 82 in Palisade tomorrow.
