We are glad to hear that the unit works well to cool the space you need it to. Sometimes, due to their weight, these units get damaged during transit, which might explain why the wheel was bad when you received it.
You might need to check on the level of water and ensure that it is within the maximum level mark. This might explain why the unit was leaking.
