Cool
Your Home At A Fraction Of The Cost Of A/C
This Ingenious Product Is Revolutionizing The Home
Cooling Market!
- The Envirocool system is an
evaporative cooling air inlet device used in
conjunction with the Quiet Cool whole house fans
(sold separately) that allows you to cool your home
far more efficiently and effectively than a
conventional air conditioner or by using our whole
house fans alone
- The Envirocool is a "Green
Product" that helps to save energy and money on your
air conditioning bill. It can cool your home
for just pennies an hour versus dollars an hour
spent on running central or
window air conditioners.
- Even during some of the
hottest days, the Envirocool can cool your home to a
comfortable 70-78 degree F and leave the interior air
at an ideal 45% to 60% humidity level.
- By pulling in fresh natural
air from the outside, the Envirocool helps to get rid
of unwanted dirty air consisting of dust, germs,
mold, mildew, pollen, smoke, odors and chemicals that have
accumulated.
- A convenient thermostat
automatically controls your temperature, meaning you
don't have to manually flip a switch or open windows
to operate the system.
- The Envirocool is very quiet.
It operates so quietly, you will hardly notice it
when it's running.
- It cools your home and your entire attic
as well, thus eliminating hot air from entering your home
through your ceiling insulation.
- Compared to a new air
conditioner, the installed cost of the Envirocool is
a small fraction of the cost.
The Envirocool Is
Not Your Grandma's Swamp Cooler!
This system is not the
troublesome old evaporative cooler or "Swamp Cooler"
that many homeowners have come to know from the past.
- There is no excessive moist,
humid air being forced into the home, leaving it
damp and smelly.
- There is no loud or noisy
fan blowing.
- There is no big or ugly box
hanging to your windows or sitting on top of your
roof.
- There is no tedious maintenance
requiring you to change the cooler pads,
clean the sump, or cover the unit during the cold
winter months.

Envirocool -
FAQ's |
| |
|
|
How does it work? |
| |
The Envirocool unit consists of
eight
square feet of a patented high tech 8 inch thick cellulose
media over which a small water pump circulates water
that trickles down through the media and into a drain
pan. Turning on your Quiet Cool fans installed in the attic
creates a negative pressure (vacuum) that draws
outside air into the home through the openings in the
media. As the outside air passes through the media, it
is cooled by evaporation, as much as 35 degrees F.
This cooled air is drawn all the way through the home
and up into the Quiet Cool fans that discharge it into
the attic. This cooled air is then forced out of the
attic vents by pressure provided by the Quiet Cool
fans.
|
|
|
Will it work
without the Quiet Cool fans? |
| |
The Quiet Cool fans are necessary
to make it work. There is no fan or blower motor in
the Envirocool. The fact that the air is sucked all the
way through the house and up into the attic and out
the attic vents by the Quiet Cool fans is what makes
this operate so much more effectively than a
conventional evaporative cooler.
|
|
|
What models are
available? |
| |
There are two models - a vertical
and a horizontal. The horizontal Model #EC-4824 is
normally placed under a window, and the vertical Model
#EC-3040 is normally placed in a side or rear exterior
wall.
|
|
|
What size do I
need for my home? |
| |
There are two models, but each is
about the same size. one unit will normally
accommodate a home up to 2,000 sq. ft.
A home 2,100 to 4,000 sq. ft.
would normally require two units.
|
|
|
How much does it
cool? |
| |
The amount of cooling is dependent
on the relative humidity. The temperature of the
cooled air can be calculated knowing the outside air
temperature and the outside wet bulb temperature. In
very dry desert climates, it can cool 110 deg. F
outside air down to about 72 degrees. In moderate
humidity climates such as inland areas of Southern
California , 100 deg. F outside air can normally be
cooled to 70 to 72 degrees F. In very high humidity
areas, outside air can still be cooled 10 to 20
degrees.
|
|
|
Will it work in my
climate? |
| |
Yes, it will work in almost all
climates. It is most effective in hot dry desert
climates, but even in humid climates, it will still
cool your home 10 to 20 degrees F. cooler than the
outside temperature.
|
|
|
How much
electricity does it use? |
| |
There is only one moving part in
the Envirocool, which is the water pump that only uses
25 Watts of power.
|
|
|
How much water
does it use? |
| |
In a hot dry desert climate it
uses the most water - about 3 gallons per hour. In a
full days use, that's about as much as one person
taking a shower, or a garden hose being turned on for
3 minutes.
|
|
|
What maintenance
is required? |
| |
About fifteen minutes, twice a
year to clean the water pan and check for proper water
flow is all that is needed to keep the Envirocool
operating properly.
|
|
|
Where on my house
should it be located? |
| |
It should be located on a lower
exterior wall as far as possible from the location of
the Quiet Cool fans.
|
|
|
Will it cool the
upstairs of a two- story house? |
| |
With the Envirocool installed on a
lower floor wall and the Quiet Cool fans installed in
the attic above the second story, the cooled air is
drawn up into the second story and will allow the
second floor to be as cool as the first floor.
|
|
|
What about
bringing dirty, dusty outside air into the house?
|
| |
In almost all locations, the outside air is actually
cleaner than inside air, but whatever dust and dirt is
in the outside air is washed by the water flowing down
through the media. The dirt is deposited into the
water pan which is automatically drained out every
evening when the Envirocool turns itself off.
|
|
|
What is the cost
of an Envirocool? |
| |
The cost of an Envirocool
(excluding installation), is less than a fourth the
cost of a conventional air conditioner. Please give us
a call to obtain current pricing.
|
|
|
How long does it
take to install an Envirocool? |
| |
A typical installation should take
2 workers less than 4 hours for installation.
|
|
|
How do I keep cold
air from entering in the winter? |
| |
The Envirocool assembly includes a
set of insulated gravity closed dampers that keep cold
air from intruding when it is not running. They only
open up when the Quiet Cool fans are on.
|
|
|
How do I use the
Envirocool System? |
| |
Very easy - just close all the
windows and turn on the Quiet Cool fans. The
Envirocool
runs automatically on a thermostat.
|
|
|
How Much Does The
Envirocool Cost? |
| |
The MSRP is
$1,795.00,
Installation may be available in select areas of So.
CA. The cost is approximately $600 for one
Envirocool unit. The work can also be done by
your local contractor.
*Note you will
also need to have the Quiet Cool fans installed to use
the Envirocool. These fans and installation are
sold separately.
