Using It on the Job

1. Isolate Power: Always ensure the evaporative cooler's power supply is isolated at the mains switch and confirm lockout before starting any work.
2. Drain & Disconnect: Drain any remaining water from the cooler's tank and carefully disconnect the wiring and plumbing from the old drain valve, noting its orientation.
3. Install New Valve: Mount the new Seeley 24V drain valve, ensuring all connections are secure and watertight. Follow the manufacturer's specific instructions for your cooler model.
4. Test Operation: Restore power and initiate a drain cycle to verify the valve opens and closes correctly. Check all connections for any leaks immediately after installation.
5. Final Check: Observe the cooler during normal operation to ensure proper water levels are maintained and the drain function activates as expected.

Limitations & Safety Notes

• Always isolate power before performing any maintenance or installation work on evaporative coolers.
• Ensure the cooler's control board provides 24V output for the drain valve; incompatible voltages can cause damage.
• Only compatible with the specific Seeley evaporative cooler models listed above.
• Follow all Australian electrical and plumbing standards, and relevant Safe Work guidance during installation.

Tradie Pro Tip

When you're replacing the drain valve, take the extra five minutes to give the cooler's water tank a thorough clean. Getting rid of any sediment and algae now will prevent premature blockages and keep the system running sweeter for longer.
