Greenhouse Megastore Evaporative Cooling Pads are a high-efficiency evaporative cooling media for greenhouses, warehouses, enclosed patios and many other spaces.
Why do you need evaporation cooling pads for your greenhouse? Greenhouses can get very hot due to their design. A cooling pad wets the air that passes through with water, cooling it down for a more stable temperature that makes it easier for plants to grow and for workers to toil away inside enclosed greenhouses.
Our evaporative swamp cooler padding is built for long-lasting and low-maintenance service life. It's constructed with high-absorption cellulose virgin Kraft paper that has a density of 110 grams per square meter. The paper is treated with wetting additives and anti-rot agents for maximum efficiency and longevity.
High-quality adhesives and rigidifying agents have been added to our pads for increased resistance to wear and tear. Additionally, the air inlet side of the cooling pads is dipped in specialized black plastic resin which helps reduce scaling and mineral buildup.
Due to mineral buildup, it's recommended that you replace your greenhouse evaporative cooler pad every three to five years. Maintain or upgrade your greenhouse evaporative cooler with these premium single-side swamp cooler pads.
The 12-inch-wide pads are available in multiple lengths and thicknesses to fit the evaporative systems we sell plus many others from leading manufacturers. Choose from many different sizes for the best fit in 5 or 25-pad package orders. Greenhouse cooling pads are sold with volume discount pricing for commercial and industrial clients.

Operation and Maintenance Information
To keep evaporative cooling pads and media lasting the longest and performing at top efficiency, please use the following recommendations:
- Install the pads according to the system manufacturer's instructions.
- Maintain the pH of the water between six and eight.
- Check and clean the distribution headers for obstructions or clogged holes.
- Dry the pads completely for 24 hours to prevent algae buildup.
- Maintain a 3-5% water bleed-off rate.
- Shade the pads and the sump from direct sunlight.
- Keep a steady, even water flow over the pads to help prevent mineral buildup.
- Use a soft-bristled brush to clean debris and then flush the system afterward.
- Drain and disinfect the entire water distribution system quarterly or as needed.
- Do not cycle the pump with on and off times which will shorten pad life.
- Regularly inspect the pads for bowing, sagging or dry streaks.
- Remove any debris from the sump and cooling system.
- Algae and scale treatments, if needed, must follow the manufacturer's instructions.
- Do not allow the bottom of the pads to sit in water.
- If possible, avoid outside contaminants that provide nutrients for algae growth.
