Cool and Save Installation

Using a brass splitter for my hose bib I sent a 50 heavy duty hose t the Condenser Compressor. I then hooked up the cool and save kit and the house is running cooler and the AC unit is turning off here and there during the hottest part of the day where it was continuously running before. Even my wife said it was cooler in the house now. This may be worth the money I spent after all. Although it looks jenky it seems to work very well.

cool vide, great idea

Just remove that contraption from around the unit, your condenser is recirculating warm air. You covered up 3 sides and put a roof on it that's why your unit is not working on hot days. Remove the roof and use louvers for cover so unit can breathe.

100% this. Also this device may work for a short while but in long term leave a lime scale on the cooling fins and practically impossible to clean thus making it inefficient even further. I'd recommend OP taking this of, take the roof and walls off. As long as the condenser coils are maintained and cleaned every 6 months it should be working at top condition.

@@Vesper778 It has a giant filter to prevent scale.

Water will work but you need the sides sucking fresh air and the top blowing hot air away.

If you remove that wall around the unit, it will work better and you probably won’t need this. Also did you consider the added cost of the water?

The sun beats down in the summer on the condenser unit which made the condenser 22 degrees hotter because it hits the unit from 12 on until it goes down at 8 pm. I left enough room to allow for breathing. The temp of the coils is another 15 to 20 degrees cooler with the cool and save device. The water bill only goes up 5 dollars a month but saves 30 percent per month on the electric bill. On 270 a month for electric I will take the 50 and spend the 5. Thanks for commenting.
