Once most of the dirt is removed, clean the reservoir with soap and water, then rinse thoroughly. If there is a significant amount of dirt and debris, you can wait until the reservoir dries and vacuum up the debris or use a wet/dry shop vac to clean it. With the evaporative media removed, you will have easy access to the reservoir. The media can be brittle, so use care when lifting it out. Remove the screws from the evaporative media flap. For some tall models, like the Jetstream 250, 260, or 270, you might need a ladder to access the screws. You will need a Philips head screwdriver to access the media. Otherwise, you will have to lift the media out damp and let it dry. For some models, you can turn the pump off and run the fan for 15 minutes to facilitate drying.

You want to make sure this is dry before you put the Portacool away for storage. It’s the brown, honeycomb material located at the back of the cooler. Your Kuul Comfort™ evaporative media is the heart of your Portacool portable evaporative cooler.
