How much water does an evaporative air conditioner use?
All evaporative air conditioners use water to produce the cooling effect. The amount varies with the size of the air conditioner, the amount of cooling selected, and the ambient conditions. Most evaporative air conditioners have a pre-programmed setting which regularly dumps the water. These air conditioners are pre-set to regularly flush all the water out of the system and replace with new water. Breezair® units with the Harmony & Horizon controller have the patented WATERmiser™, a unique feature which ensures economic water use through electronic water quality detection. The WATERmiser regularly tests the quality of the water to determine if the water is suitable for use. This feature ensures that a Breezair unit uses the minimum amount of water to achieve high efficiency cooling and ensures optimal operation of the air conditioner. The WATERmiser also comes with a leak detection monitor to ensure that no water is wasted in the operating of the system.
