Summer has started showing its fierce form in India. With increasing heat, people’s condition is also worsening. To avoid this, you can take the help of cooler or AC. However, it is not possible for everyone to have an AC.
This is the reason why air coolers remain a cheap and reliable option even today.
But the truth is that most people do not use the cooler properly. Because of this they feel that the cooler is useless. In fact, with a little understanding, the same cooler can give an AC like feel. Let us tell you an easy hack by which you can use your cooler with full efficiency.
5 rupee trick
The easiest way to cool the air in the cooler is to keep the water cool. For this many people put ice in the cooler. But, that’s where the “5 rupee trick” comes in handy. For this you have to use edible salt kept at home. Which will cost you less than Rs 5.
When you use cold water mixed with ice or salt in the water cooler, the water remains cold for a longer time. Salt reduces the freezing point of water, due to which the ice does not melt quickly and the cold remains for a longer time. This trick shows maximum effect in the afternoon when the heat outside is at its peak.
The biggest mistake is to run the cooler in a closed room.
If you are running the cooler in a closed room, then you yourself are spoiling its performance. You have to understand that the cooler is not an AC. It circulates air and for this it is necessary to have proper ventilation. There should be air passage in the room so that hot air can go out and cold air can circulate inside. Apart from this, keeping a cooler near the window and keeping a door or window open makes the cooling much better.
If the cooling pads are dirty then the cooler is useless
- Cooling pads do the actual work of a cooler, but over time, dust and dirt accumulate in them. Due to this, water is not absorbed properly and the air does not become cool.
- If you want proper cooling then it is important to keep the pads clean. If necessary, it should be changed.
- If you use khus along with it, the air feels even cooler and fresher. It not only increases cooling but also gives a mild fragrance.
understand this
Understand one thing clearly, a cooler will never become an AC. But if you get these basic things right, the cooling can be so much better that you will feel the difference. Most of the people use it without understanding and then say that the cooler does not work. Actually the fault lies not in the machine but in the usage.
