I bet this one would really be nice for the guy who likes to work in his garage.

Yes they do . . . it's so nice not to have to worry about dealing with a swamp cooler anymore.

Changed my pads last weekend. Doubled the size of my pump and bent the float arm to add maybe 4 more gallons of water. Damn thing had me thinking of a fire in the fireplace that night.

Good thing I got it done. Supposed to be 90 + here tomorrow.

The Aspen pads are fine as long as you change them EVERY year.
