Coolmist just died - What are the options?
    #17337621 - 12/05/12 10:30 AM (12 years, 1 month ago)

A buddy's coolmist that was powering a mono tub just died. It was putting out an electrical burn smell for a couple of days and now won't turn on. This mono is mid-flush and previous attempts to manually fan have ended in almost immediate green mold. Yeah I know, Coolmists are for suckers but it's always worked well. Should my buddy point a fan at it (since it's in a closet w. no moving air) and just let the mono do what it does best? Still would need to crack the lid to spray though. Any ideas for starters? Probably should point out this is the old school style cool mists, that they don't carry anymore.

Monotubs do not need supplemental fresh air or humidity. Your adding an extra contamination vector pumping in mold spores from outside of the tub. The 1 inch holes lightly stuffed with poly fill is not only going to be safer from contamination but perform better. If this has caused issues in the past it was just coincidence. I understand your method works, but it will not outperform a monotub built to specifications.

If you decide to use poly fill holes make sure there is a fan somewhere near the tub but not pointing at it directly. A small oscillating fan works fine. Even the fan is not necessary but does supply very good FAE .

Well, there are holes stuffed w. polyfill like recommended, he just has always pumped a coolmist through one of the upper holes on the narrow side. If he doesn't have a fan could he just put it in a room out in the open where the AC and ceiling fan would provide plenty of moving air (the air in that room is probably not that clean).
