How to Maintain Your Symphony Air Cooler for Maximum Cooling

Air coolers are a highly effective and eco-friendly way to beat the dry heat of Rajasthan. Symphony coolers, in particular, are known for their powerful cooling and durability. However, without proper maintenance, efficiency drops drastically. Here are expert tips to maintain your Symphony cooler for maximum cooling.

1. Clean the Cooling Pads Regularly

Symphony coolers use high-efficiency honeycomb cooling pads. Over time, dust and hard water minerals (scaling) clog these pads, preventing proper airflow and water absorption. Inspect them every few weeks. If they are covered in white scale, they need to be gently cleaned or replaced. Never use harsh chemicals on honeycomb pads.

2. Maintain Proper Water Levels and Quality

Always ensure the water tank has sufficient water before turning on the pump. Running the pump dry will permanently burn the motor. If your area has very hard water, the scaling will build up faster. It's recommended to completely drain and clean the water tank every two weeks to prevent algae growth and foul smells.

3. Ensure Proper Cross-Ventilation

Unlike ACs, air coolers require open doors or windows to function. They add moisture to the air to cool it down. If the room is closed, the humidity will rise rapidly, and the cooling effect will stop, leaving the room feeling sticky and uncomfortable. Always leave a window slightly open for the humid air to escape.

4. Check the Water Distribution System

Sometimes, the pump works fine, but the water isn't wetting the pads evenly. This is usually caused by clogged water distribution pipes at the top of the cooler. Clearing these small holes ensures the pads are evenly soaked, maximizing evaporation and cooling.

When to call a professional?

If your cooler is making loud grinding noises, the pump has stopped working, or the fan speed is unusually slow, it's time for professional servicing. Simplex Care Jaipur is an authorized service provider for Symphony coolers, offering genuine spare parts and doorstep repairs.
