Well, this ad was no help. "Get it fixed". lol
I fought fishy odors for years. I finally fixed the problem. And no, it wasn't calling this guy to replace everything for hundreds of dollars. LOL
I tried scrubbing, cleaning, painting the sump, water filters, bleach, vinegar, bleed lines, drains, zinc anodes and chlorine blocks. All to no avail.
The problem is not bacteria. It is mold. Unlike bacteria, mold never dies. It simply hibernates until moisture returns.
In Denver I had a condo that was devastated by mold. A hazmat company was called in to repair the water damage. Crews of men came in to remove insulation, carpet, etc and treat the mold. And so here comes the million dollar answer....baking soda. They used a very expensive spray to encapsulate the mold. The spray's ingredients were just water and 5% baking soda. For some reason, you can look up, baking soda encapsulates mold and prevents it from ever returning to life.
Using this memory, I dumped an old box of generic baking soda into my swamp cooler. The results were noticeable. A few days later I went up again and dumped another old box into the Master Cool. But this time I did it with the pump running, bleed line closed, and I dumped the soda slowly into the pump basket itself to make sure plenty of the soda got into the pump and into the ten year old cooling pads. And then I let the pump run for several hours.
Everyone was telling me to replace my old pads, but those pads are crazy expensive and visually there was nothing wrong with them.
So here I am, using my Master Cool evaporative cooler with 10 year old pads and the cooler smells like pine fresh mountain air. There's no fishy odor at all. And I'm not even using fresh water! It's been a week now and smelling better every day.
This is it! The solution to any fowl cooler odors. You have mold. And baking soda encapsulates mold. It's what the pros use to kill mold smell. But you have to get the baking soda onto the mold. And it has to be wet. Because the mold drinks the water and consumes the baking sodas that way, and that's what encapsulates the mold.
Read up on it, and send me the $200 this guy would change you.
