Before you do anything else, the first thing you should check is the power supply. It is critical for your safety that you always turn off or disconnect the electricity to your Swamp Cooler. This will help assure you do not get electrocuted while you complete the task of winterizing your swamp cooler.

After you have turned off the power supply to your Swamp Cooler, the second step is to shut off the water valve that supplies your Swamp Cooler unit. Because each Swamp Cooler unit is different, you may want to research the model number online to save time. Either way, after you have the water supply turned off, you can proceed to step 3.

Now that the power supply and the water valve are both turned off, you are ready for the third step. Simply drain the remaining water out of your swamp cooler to keep it from freezing during the winter months. You will want to make sure that the area below your swamp cooler is free from debris or any household items you do not want to get wet from the runoff. Additionally, it is best to drain your swamp cooler towards the middle of the day, when the sun is warm. This will help you avoid any standing water or creating ice as the temperature drops.

After you have successfully completed draining the water from your Swamp Cooler, you will want to cover the unit using a specifically designed cover. The best covers for Swamp Coolers are durable, weather resistant and will last for years if properly maintained. By covering your swamp cooler you help to keep snow and ice from getting inside during the winter. You also help to maintain the quality of your unit which can add up to many extra years of use.

Finally, your swamp cooler is ready for winter! If you plan on getting a swamp cooler ready for winter, please exercise caution and use our home owners guide.
