Mesh Swamp Cooler Covers
1 min read
Pads clogging with yard dust on idle summer units? Mesh keeps debris off while air flows. It will not stop winter drafts, rain, or pests — use solid fabric for shutdown.
Problem: Dust on Idle Units During Cooling Season
Portable units sit in gravel yards between jobs. Wind-blown dust loads pads on idle coolers — startup airflow drops and pads need early replacement. Mesh blocks debris while allowing air through.
Solution: Mesh for In-Season Idle Only
- Use when the unit is off but not winterized — still needs airflow
- Keeps leaves and dust off pads without trapping heat like solid fabric
- Swap to solid winter cover at shutdown — mesh is not a winter product
Do Not Use Mesh When
- Winter shutdown — cold air passes straight through mesh
- Rain protection needed — water penetrates openly
- Pest blocking — mesh openings are too large for wasps and rodents
