This is a stainless steel, 10,000 CFM evaporative cooling fan built for warehouses, manufacturing floors, wash-down areas, and outdoor commercial spaces where corrosion resistance matters as much as airflow.
The Polar Cool SS-Pro 36" pairs the company's original all-stainless-steel housing design with its current-generation Pro internals: a 10,000 CFM fan, a 38-40 gallon reservoir, and touchpad speed control. It's built for coastal sites, chemical plants, food processing areas, wash-down environments, and agricultural operations where powder-coated or painted housings eventually corrode or chip.

System Components
- All-stainless steel upper housing frame, resistant to corrosion, rust, chemicals, and saltwater exposure
- Edge-coated evaporative cooling media with algae-resistant treatment for extended pad life
- Rotationally molded plastic reservoir, 38-40 gallon capacity, not susceptible to rust or leaks
- Touchpad control interface with 10-speed variable fan control
- Low-water shutoff to protect the pump when reservoir level drops
- Hinged top cover for interior maintenance and pad access
Installation Requirements & Accessories
- Requires a 120VAC circuit; unit draws 8.5A (10A at 115V, 60Hz per manufacturer spec)
- Ships with a 20-foot GFCI-protected power cord
- Reservoir is manually filled; [NEEDS VERIFICATION] on continuous hose/float-valve hookup support
- Not recommended for enclosed spaces without cross-ventilation
- Continuous water-line hose kit / direct plumbing connection NOT included
- Not compatible with ungrounded or non-GFCI-protected circuits
Pro-Installer Tip
Evaporative cooling only works when displaced humid air has somewhere to go, so plan for cross-ventilation — an open bay door, roof vents, or exhaust fans on the opposite side of the space from the unit. Without an exit path for the moist air, humidity builds up indoors, cooling performance drops off, and you'll see condensation on nearby surfaces. Check the reservoir level and inspect the cooling pads on a routine schedule, especially in dusty or high-mineral-content water areas, and clean or replace pads before airflow noticeably drops. As a professional standard, evaporative cooling performs best in relative humidity below 60% — in more humid climates, expect reduced temperature drop regardless of fan speed.
Key Benefits
- 10,000 CFM airflow for spot and area cooling in large open spaces
- 38-40 gallon reservoir runs roughly 3x longer between refills than the prior 36" model
- 10-speed control lets you match airflow to conditions and conserve water
- All-stainless steel housing resists corrosion, heat, and UV degradation for outdoor or wash-down use
- Low-water shutoff and hinged access panel simplify long-term maintenance
- Lower operating cost than refrigerant-based cooling for large, ventilated spaces

FAQ
Does this unit require a continuous water connection?
No. The SS-Pro fills from its 38-40 gallon rotationally molded reservoir. [NEEDS VERIFICATION] on whether a direct hose/float-valve hookup is supported — the manufacturer data does not confirm a continuous fill connection for this model.
How large of a space will this evaporative cooler effectively cool?
The unit moves 10,000 CFM of air. Cooling capacity depends on relative humidity, temperature, and the area being cooled — the manufacturer does not publish a fixed square-footage rating for this model.
Can this be used indoors without open windows?
Evaporative cooling depends on fresh air movement. The manufacturer notes it works best in well-ventilated spaces; it is not intended for sealed rooms without cross-ventilation.
What kind of power outlet is required?
The unit ships with a 20-foot GFCI-protected power cord rated 120VAC, drawing 8.5A (10A at 115V, 60Hz per the manufacturer spec sheet). It requires a standard grounded, GFCI-protected outlet.
How much water does it use during operation?
Approximately 12 gallons per hour in spaces at or above 90°F. Lower ambient temperatures reduce water consumption.
