Tradie Pro Tip
Before you swap out the old valve, it’s worth checking the wiring for continuity and the valve's coil for resistance. Sometimes a faulty connection or a problem with the control board can mimic a bad valve, saving you a bit of work if it's not the valve itself.
Pair With
Consider pairing this drain valve with new evaporative cooler filter pads or a replacement float valve to give your system a complete refresh. Also check out other evaporative cooler pumps and spare parts for your specific model.
