I've had good luck with all mine over the past 30 - 40 years. Never
bother to look them up - just buy what the installer sells. But you have
to tinker with them. Be sure the lines from the water distributer hub
through the lines to the pads ("spider") are all working right. Things
get plugged up, especially with very hard well water like I have. Have to
be sure the pump is working, that the mesh water filter around pump is
not plugged up. And of course that the water feed to the cooler is
working right and the float valve in the cooler is allowing water to flow
into the cooler.

Sounds like a lot of trouble but usually there are few problems. Easy to
fix things yourself, no expensive A/C servicing bill.
