Q: Does the unit increase the humidity in the area being cooled?

a year ago
2 Answers
  • A: Yes, like all evaporative coolers, the Apex 500 may increases humidity in the immediate area as the evaporation process works to cool the air. For best results, it should be used in open or well-ventilated spaces so the added humidity can escape while you enjoy the cooling effect. — The Portacool Team

Great unit for covered porch area

a month ago
I purchased the Portacool APEX 500 last summer to use in my covered patio here in North Central TX. The unit has a large reservoir which helps me load it at the beginning of the weekend and it stays with water in it thru the weekend. I use a garden hose to fill and it is all systems go from there. Keeps our area at a manageable temperature and that is saying something on those 105 degree days.

Yes, I recommend this product.
