Pla-cool February 01, 2013, 12:19:39 pm Yahoo Message Number: 136563I have a pla-cool model 800 evaporative air conditioner on my '91 261/2' RB. Can someone tell me how the water is pumped from the water tank to the roof unit? Is there a pump at the tank too, or just the pump in the roof unit? Also, I was wondering if replacement pumps are available?Thanks. Dale from Downey.

There will also be a shutoff valve somewhere - perhaps under the kitchen sink - which must be opened up for water to go to the roof unit.Steve

Re: Pla-cool Reply #4 – February 01, 2013, 02:08:56 pm Yahoo Message Number: 136570On my '92 RB there was a valve under the kitchen sink. Yes there is another pump in the roof unit that pumps the water over the filter keeping it wet. The house pump keeps the reservoir filled.Jerry in Mira Loma 2000 30IB
Re: Pla-cool Reply #5 – February 04, 2013, 11:40:15 am Yahoo Message Number: 136641I want to thank Regan, Jerry, chorst_2000 and Victor Sanchez for replying to my need for help with my Play-cool unit. I did what you suggested and it is now functioning well. Mainly, I didn't realize the house pump needed to be on and a major cleaning were the problems. Thanks.
