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.
