How to Maintain and Replace Honeycomb Cooler Pads
Inspect the pad as part of the whole water and airflow system. Uneven wetting, mineral deposits, physical damage and restricted airflow may indicate cleaning or replacement is needed.
Quick answer: Inspect the pad as part of the whole water and airflow system. Uneven wetting, mineral deposits, physical damage and restricted airflow may indicate cleaning or replacement is needed.
Switch off and follow the product instructions
Disconnect power before opening the cooler. Model-specific service instructions take priority, especially around electrical parts, pumps and moving fans.
Inspect water distribution
Look for dry sections, blocked distribution holes, overflow, pump problems and leaks. A sound pad cannot work correctly if it is not wetted evenly.
Check the media condition
Inspect for mineral scale, dust, collapsed passages, damaged edges, gaps and persistent odour. Use only cleaning methods approved for the final pad material.
Replace by condition and specification
Replace pads when damage or deposits prevent even wetting and airflow after approved cleaning. Match dimensions, thickness and orientation to the confirmed model.
Reduce repeat problems
Keep the tank and distribution system clean, monitor water quality and inspect at an interval suited to local dust, water and operating hours.
