What Is Swamp Cooler Startup
Swamp cooler startup is the process of preparing an evaporative cooling system for use after the off season. During winter, swamp coolers are typically shut down, drained, and covered. Before warm weather arrives, the system needs to be inspected, cleaned, and tested to ensure it is operating properly.
A professional startup helps prevent leaks, airflow issues, and unexpected breakdowns once temperatures increase.
