          Answer This Question

          No, 1/3HP is the rated motor for the 3800cfm coolers. A larger HP motor will pull higher velocity across the aspen media and entrain water to the blower.

              Ok first it doesn't fit any available roof jack you can buy. Made cheaply with a lot of metal twisted as soon as I took the panels out. Runs loud as in not the motor but the fan is super load. Also it is really really small compared to the old one. All in all if you want a simple swap this is not it. This is for a havc guy to install for you since it will require a custom mount. On the other hand if your good at making stuff you can probably make it work

                Terrible service.
                Bought this about 1 year ago. Motor froze up. Called customer service and they told me that there is no replacement motor for this. Total waste of money. I do not recommend this product nor the company.

                  It leaks from the bottom seams. I had to go around with sealant before running While running, water is sucked out of pads and runs down ducts I’ll never buy this brand again
