Limitations & Safety Notes

• This pad is designed for evaporative cooling systems only; do not attempt to use it in other HVAC equipment.
• Always verify the dimensions of your existing pad against the Cel418P before ordering to ensure a correct fit.
• Follow the cooler manufacturer's specific instructions for pad replacement and maintenance.
• Always adhere to Australian safety standards and Safe Work guidance when performing maintenance on electrical appliances.

To keep your cooler running sweet and maximise the life of your new Filtex pad, give the water tank and distribution system a good scrub-down before installation. Clean water helps the pad perform efficiently and prevents premature breakdown.
