It’s a water pump and a fan, not worth $3K.

Swamp coolers only work in areas with dry heat. In areas with humidity, you don't get the evaporative effect. Dry heat goes in thru the wicking surface, water evaporates, cooling the air temporarily. In humid areas, hit moisture just gets blown right thru it.

swamp coolers are for places where you have the doors open

Swamp coolers are nasty. They just raise the humidity and the water gets slimy.

Those are not for enclosed anything. They are to promote cool airflow. You want to put an ac in a barn or stable or workshop?? Well let's start with insulation and walls and o wait your making a house??? 👌

swamp coolers are ineffective in high humidity areas, they work best in the southwest where it is hot and dry

BUILD THE STRUCTURE WITH GOOD INSULATION FIRST. build it tight, air it right. you can cool or heat an entire space with small units this way

I can't imagine someone using one of those indoors. I know I've seen it, I just don't understand it. mini splits are awesome.

A piece of plastic mold and a decent motor should never cost this much

Swap coolers like the ones you just profiled are designed to be used outdoors or in large open areas like warehouses or body shops where mini splits would have zero effect.

I think these are more for open spaces where there's no doors or the garage doors are always open. We have a big one on our porch. It's the only way we can be out there in the summer.

these swamp coolers will also only work in dry climates. if the air is already too humid they don't work
