Media Pads

Media pads are replacement cooling components used in compatible evaporative coolers. Facilities, maintenance teams, and commercial operators use them when servicing worn cooler media to support airflow, water absorption, water evaporation, and continued cooling operation.

Use Cases

Replace worn evaporative media

Use replacement pads and media sets when servicing compatible portable or facility evaporative coolers and restoring the cooler’s media section.

How to Choose

Start with fit

Confirm the compatible cooler model first, then verify media depth, overall dimensions, and whether the unit requires a single pad or a complete set.

Applications

Support cooler maintenance

These media products are intended for maintenance of compatible evaporative coolers where water absorption, airflow, and evaporation support cooling operation.

Planning Guide

Plan the right fit before choosing

Check Compatibility

Match the replacement to the cooler

Some pads are made for a specified cooler model, while universal rigid media sets are intended for compatible units designed around a particular media depth and size. A listed model match or dimensional match helps guide replacement planning.

  • Confirm the cooler model or supported model list.
  • Verify the media opening and listed dimensions.
  • Match the required 8-inch or 12-inch rigid-media depth when applicable.
Select the Right Format

Choose a pad, set, or multi-piece assembly

The category includes single rigid replacement pads, complete media sets, and multi-piece rigid media assemblies. Set quantities vary, so select the format that corresponds to the media components required by the compatible cooler.

  • Single-pad options are available for some compatible coolers.
  • Complete sets are available in four-, five-, and six-pad configurations.
  • Multi-piece rigid sets can help fit media into compatible cooler cabinets.
Review Media Features

Consider features that support operation

Reinforced cellulose media supports water absorption for evaporative cooling. Expanded media surfaces help maximize water evaporation, while protective edge coatings help repel algae and guard edges against UV damage. Debris-reducing designs help limit buildup that can restrict airflow or contribute to clogging.

  • Cellulose fiber construction is available in rigid replacement media.
  • Expanded surface designs support evaporation.
  • Protective coatings and debris-reducing designs are offered on select media sets.
FAQ

Common questions before buying

What are media pads used for?

They replace evaporative cooler media to support airflow, water absorption, and water evaporation during cooling operation.

How do I choose the correct replacement media?

Confirm the compatible cooler model, required media depth, listed dimensions, and whether the cooler needs one pad or a complete set.

What rigid media depths are available?

The available universal rigid media sets include 8-inch and 12-inch media-depth options.

Why do pad quantities vary?

Compatible coolers can require a single pad, a complete set, or a multi-piece media assembly. Select the quantity specified for the cooler being serviced.
