Swamp Coolers

Once again it is that time of the year, that I have to get our swamp coolers fixed, cleaned, tuned and ready for the hot summer months. I really hate swamp coolers! This year I thought it would be different. I cleaned, fixed, tuned everything up and nothing leaked. So I thought maybe this year I will not be up on the roof everyday adjusting something. NOPE!!! I was way off. One cooler needed a new floater, then it over filled and leaked. I got that fixed with a new floater (always buy the more expensive ones, they work better). Mess taken care of. Everything was back to normal again. So I thought to myself we are good now.
I really need to quit thinking. Last night the other coolers line blew! I had to run to the store get new piping, parts and figured why mess with a bad floater when I can get a new one on since I am fixing the line. Well two hours later everything was put together, not before the new floater I bought was cracked (thanks Lowe's for putting it back broken), so I had to put the old float back on re hook up the line, go and down the ladder to see if the water pressure was too much, see if the float is not going to over fill, then clean up, and taking tools down off the roof. By the time I was done with that it was 9:45 at night. So much for doing anything else tonight.
To top it off, this morning when checking to see if that bad float worked or not. I opened my window to see the cooler leaking water. Which tells me (yes, I do hate Swamp coolers with a passion) but the bad float is still not working right. Back to Lowe's tonight after work. Did I mention I really hate Swamp coolers that don't even work when it gets really hot in Utah.
