In our temporary home that we are living while we are going through the building process of our new home has a swamp cooler in it. We just got it working for the coming summer months. Ever since we got it working I have been coughing up alot of mucus. It seems loose and easy to get up. I live in the desert and therefore its normally very dry and this is putting humidity in the air. I was wondering if anyone else has experiance this. Has it helped you?

the humidity will help but be careful for things to start growing in that water, make sure you keep it very clean, there are a lot of places for things like psudomonus and stuff like that to hide in a swamp cooler, don't have any good ideas on how to keep it clean though...

We also live in the desert so we have a swamp cooler. The one thing I do is once a week, while the kids are out of the house, I have my hubby go on the roof and run bleach through it. All that water just sitting there makes me nervous.

OK Being I live in New York I have no idea what a swamp cooler is. I would guess its some type of humidifier, but could someone explain it better?

Melissa,

Living in the desert we have very little humidity so we do not use refridgerated air conditioners.

Here is an explaination on a swamp cooler.

A swamp cooler (more formally called an evaporative cooler) is essentially a large box-like frame containing a big fan and walled in by water-wetted pads, usually made of cedar shavings or cellulose. The fan whooshes the hot outside air through the dripping pads (which are continually soaked by a water pump), cooling the air by about 20 ºF as the air evaporates water molecules from the pads. The fan then blows the water-cooled air through the house and out a deliberate vent.


Wet the back of your hand -- then blow on it. Your skin surface feels cooler. That's evaporative cooling.
