Evap Doctor

Ok I had to walk away (declined) from this job, the PNE control box failed last year and they PAID 😭 some fool to come out and fit a new control box with a remote control (Navigator)and not only is the control box fitted backwards (crazy no reason for it) the isolation s/w can only be operated with a thin screw driver as it hard up against the mounting bracket (illegal) , not to mention just ramming a couple of tech screws through it and closing the lid on to the cables that are not placed inside the box correctly. Also he used a 20mm hole saw and just drilled in to the housing, so now if water gets on to the ledge , the water goes straight in to the dropper and then on to the ceiling - more faults to mention but whats the point !!
The owner did say he still has the receipt 👍 and will make contact, my suggestion was to report him to Consumer Protection and The Department Of Energy WA (Elect)

This is a first for me, this evap is out of level by 61mm and has a few other little problems, but it was only after we started to remove the pads so we could level the head unit, only to find the reason for the angle was because there was no structual support to one side and it was actually the lead flashing supporting it and the dropper pivoting as soon as we took up the weight - we had to walk away from this job as owner is going to see about replacing the evap

Owner reported water on the tiles and water stains on the ceiling, when she purchased the house approx 12 months ago, the previous owner told her, no service was required on evaporative air coolers and as they are new to WA, they have had no experience with evaps - it pretty obvious it was in a very poor state before they purchased the house.

Welcome to the silly season, to the casual observer, it may not be obvious !
This is a Bonaire variable speed, controlled via a remote controller using a PNE Control board (no longer available ), the customer was sold a 3 speed motor and was told it would still operate as it would be using the High speed winding 🤣, even though the motor plug in lead fits both the variable and 3 speed motor, the plug connection for the variable speed motor has 2 less pins, there are no modifications that can be made within the control box, also the client was shocked at the crazy high $100 plus per motor support arm ( He requires 4 ), he buggered off down to Bunnings and bought some 3/8 threaded rod and made his own 😱, if you have worked with 3/8 threaded rod before , then you are aware they break very easy . I have advised him, I would not work on his evap with the support arms that are fitted or do any modifications within the motor connection box to make it operate, apart from being illegal, my insurance would say goodbye if anything went wrong (damage) and I would be liable

Experience the Evap Doctor difference. With our extensive knowledge and commitment to customer satisfaction, make us the go-to choice for all your air conditioning needs.

This is going to be a problem for this customer 😭, we were called out because they had water constantly coming from the front left hand corner of the evap on to the roof, it was fitted 13 months ago (replaced old evap with new Bonaire) . The first clue to this little problem is that the evap is mounted 90º out of alignment , the reservoir should be positioned facing the low side of the roof ( look at the profile of the base of the evap ) - it appears this was done because the flexi hose supplied was to short and instead of fitting a longer hose or getting a plumber to reposition or extend the water inlet, they decided to just rotate the evap 90º to make it fit , the second part of this problem is that the unit is not level as per the pics.
Now the owners want the original company to come back and rectify ie correct orientation and make level, as Bonaire may not honour its warranty , our side was a easy fix , lowered the water level ( temporary solution ) and tested ok.
The owners have made contact with the company that had fitted to unit and have received a negative response , they have contacted Bonaire and were told if not fitted correctly , warranty may be void , now going to Consumer Affairs !
This is a prime example of taking a short cut and yes the evap is operational and if the water level was not a problem , maybe 2 - 3 years down the track they would have found out and would maybe have zero recourse

Hanging “Gardens of Babylon “

Out with the old, in with the new!

Crazy this was done not by a “home owner or tenant” but by a “maintenance company” the most obvious danger is uncontrolled water going into the evap, with no safe guards and also if any damage was caused, no insurance cover 😡

Breezair 13mm hose has come adrift from the water distributor, by the look of the dust on the spigot and inside the hose, it has been like this for a little while - strangely no water damage 😬😬👍

Unfortunately this is a fairly common fault we find , stress tear - but as long as the tear is vertical and does not transit to a horizontal tear, it can be filled with silicon and last many many years - this is also the advice given by the manufacturer.
We have a number of these on our annual schedule, first is to take a pic and inform the client (show them the pics) and then if the tear has not changed over the next 12 months we fill with silicon and monitor.
