Why is my Seeley Air Cleaner not cooling properly?
- C
  crayAug 17, 2025
  Your Seeley Air Cleaner might not be cooling effectively due to several reasons. The cooler might be under-sized, in which case you should replace it with a larger one. The ducts could be too small; consider a cooling load design to determine the correct size for the unit, ducting, and outlets. Clogged or dirty cooling pads can also cause this issue, so clean or replace them. If the pads are dry or there's a lack of water, check the water distribution system for obstructions in the hoses and inspect the pump. Ensure adequate exhaust from the building by opening windows and doors to prevent high humidity. Finally, excessive ambient humidity can limit cooling performance; on such days, shutting off the pump may be necessary.

  If the pump on your Seeley Air Cleaner fails to operate, first check the fuse and replace it if blown, after checking the pump for faults. If the fuse isn't the issue, the pump motor may have failed, requiring a replacement of the pump.

  If the fan on your Seeley Air Cleaner isn't starting, check the motor fuse and replace it if it's blown, after identifying the cause of the overload. If the fuse is not the problem, the fan motor might be burned out and need replacement. Also, low system voltage could be the cause, in this case you should consult with your power supply authority.

  A noisy Seeley Air Cleaner could be due to a fan being out of balance because of dirt; cleaning the fan might resolve this. Alternatively, there might be too much back pressure, requiring a re-evaluation of the design, improvement of the duct layout, or changes to grille sizes.

  Whitney GonzalezAug 27, 2025
  If your Seeley Air Cleaner pump is running but there's no water circulation, it could be due to several reasons. The water level in the tank might be insufficient, so adjust the float level. There might be a blockage in the water line that you need to check and clean out. The pump strainer could also be blocked, requiring cleaning. Finally, insufficient water supply pressure could be the issue, so check and confirm the water supply pressure.

How to get rid of the unpleasant odour from my Seeley Air Cleaner?
- O
  operezSep 2, 2025
  An unpleasant odour from your Seeley Air Cleaner can stem from several causes. New cooler pads may emit an odour initially; fill the tank, run the pump briefly to wash the pads, drain the tank, refill, and repeat if needed. This smell should dissipate after some hours of operation. The cooler might be near a source of unpleasant odour, so remove the source or relocate the cooler. Algae in the tank water can also cause this; drain the pan, clean it thoroughly with a strong cleansing agent, refill it, and change the pads. If pads remain wet after shutdown, run the fan on 'vent/fan' for 10 minutes after cooling to dry them. Heavy pad deposits may also be the cause, so clean or replace the pads.

What to do if water is entering the cooler outlet of my Seeley Air Cleaner?

  Jared YangSep 4, 2025
  If water is entering the cooler outlet of your Seeley Air Cleaner, check for loose water hose connections and tighten them. Look for broken water hoses and replace any cracked or broken ones. Ensure the cover is fitted on the float valve; if not, replace the float valve. Verify that the pads are correctly fitted into the pad frames and install them correctly if needed. Finally, incorrect or damaged pads can cause this issue, so replace them with new Chillcel pads.
