This Bonaire 1/2" Water Solenoid Valve is the genuine replacement part you need for managing water flow in compatible Bonaire evaporative cooling systems. It's built to handle the demands of Aussie summer cooling, ensuring your unit runs efficiently without unexpected water issues.

Anyone who's had to track down a dripping or seized solenoid knows the value of swapping it out with the right part the first time. This 24V 'No Dump' type provides reliable operation.

Best for: HVAC techs, evaporative cooler repairers, and competent DIY owners servicing Bonaire evaporative cooling units.

Compatibility

This solenoid is specifically designed for Bonaire evaporative coolers, identified by Bonaire Part Number 0080591SP. It's a 'No Dump' type, meaning it controls the main water supply without an integrated drain function, ideal for direct replacement in compatible units. If you're running a different model or brand, check fittings and specs before ordering.

Features

• Inlet: 1/2″ BSP Male thread
• Outlet: 1/2″ BSP Female thread
• Operating Pressure Range: 20 KPa to 1250 KPa
• Voltage: 24V DC (confirm AC/DC if not specified, assuming typical 24V AC for evaporative coolers but text just says '24V')
• Genuine Bonaire Part Number: 0080591SP

Technical Specifications

What's in the Box

• 1 x Bonaire 1/2" Water Solenoid Valve M&F (No Dump), 24V (CT-SOLENOID)

Using It on the Job

1. Safety First: Always isolate power to the evaporative cooler at the mains before starting any work. Consider lockout procedures if working on commercial sites.
2. Drain Down: Ensure the water reservoir is completely drained and depressurised.
3. Disconnect: Carefully disconnect the wiring and plumbing from the old solenoid. Take a photo if you're unsure of the correct orientation for the new install.
4. Install New Solenoid: Apply thread sealant (like PTFE tape) to the male threads and hand-tighten the new solenoid into place, then snug carefully with a wrench. Do not overtighten.
5. Reconnect: Reattach the 24V wiring to the new solenoid, ensuring connections are secure and correctly polarised if applicable. Restore power to the unit.
6. Leak Check: Run the unit and visually inspect all connections for leaks immediately. Address any drips promptly.

Limitations & Safety Notes

• Ensure the supply voltage matches the 24V rating of this solenoid to prevent damage.
• Not suitable for potable (drinking) water applications unless certified for such use by relevant Australian authorities.
• Verify inlet/outlet thread compatibility before installation; this unit uses 1/2" BSP Male and Female connections.
• Always follow the specific manufacturer's installation instructions for your Bonaire evaporative cooler model.
• Electrical work should only be performed by qualified personnel or competent DIYers after ensuring power isolation and proper safety measures.

Tradie Pro Tip: When you're replacing these, always check the state of your float valve and water level sensor too. Sometimes a failing solenoid is a symptom of other water management issues in the cooler, especially if there's scale buildup preventing proper operation.
