FAQ 3: I just turned on my unit for the first time and the motor runs but no water is being pumped across media pad, what do I do?
– Ensure the display shows water in the tank (a solid media pad picture at top left of control pad display). Press “COOL” button. On initial startup, the motor will delay 30-90 seconds to allow pump to prime media pad before starting automatically. Disconnect from power and reconnect if you continue experiencing trouble. This will allow the unit to reset it’s start-up cycle.
FAQ 4: How long will my media pad last?
