Water Distributor Tube Cleaning — Georgetown TX
Water distributor tubes carry water from the pump to the top of each pad, relying on small holes or slots to distribute water evenly. In Georgetown's hard water, these holes clog with mineral deposits, causing dry spots on pads and uneven cooling. Regular cleaning or replacement maintains even saturation.
Distributor tube clogging is one of the most common evaporative cooler performance problems in hard water areas. The symptoms — one side of the unit cooling well, the other poorly — are often misdiagnosed as pad problems. Clearing the distribution tubes is usually the correct fix.
What's Included
We observe the water distribution pattern with the pump running to identify clogged holes.
We flush the tubes with a descaling solution appropriate for aluminum or plastic components.
For stubborn scale, we mechanically clear individual holes with appropriate tools.
When tubes are too corroded for effective cleaning, we replace with new distribution tubes.
After cleaning, we verify even distribution across the full width of each pad.
