Answer This Question
A:Â This is not something we recommend. The Hard Water Treatment has been formulated and designed for our evaporative coolers only. For us in Portacool evaporative coolers, it works as a preventative measure, not a cleaning solution once buildup has already formed. We do not recommend any other use for it as it has not been tested in applications outside of Portacool usage.

Used this in an outdoor swamp cooler. We have hard water and dusty air. Have added a second piece. It works to some extent but will not eliminate all hard water effects. I will continue to use it.

This did not work at all for us. We even doubled up on the sticks, but our evaporative cooler still wound up caked with calcium/mineral deposits.

A strange smell is normal for about the first two weeks of using new products. A small number of aromatic molecules may evaporate along with the water molecules, which could be detected as a slight smell when the product is new. If you are having this smell after adding the hard water treatment to an existing Portacool, the reservoir may need to be cleaned. For additional assistance, please contact our Customer Service team at (936) 598-5651 or (800) 695-2942.
