How To Replace A Swamp Cooler Float Valve

By Aaron Stickley, About.com Guide

The water used by a swamp cooler is regulated by a simple float valve that sits inside the unit. When the float valve is not working properly the swamp cooler will overfill and leak out of the sides or the overflow release. An overflow leak from a swamp cooler can translate into several gallons of wasted water per week.

This is a fairly common problem because the swamp cooler float valves are often cheaply made and some do not last more than a season or two. Fortunately replacing a swamp cooler float valve is a really easy and inexpensive project.
