Cool-n-Save® is an amazing
new, patented product, that
is actually based on the same
scientific principles that large
corporations have used to save
themselves money for years.
Installed in less than five minutes with no tools required, the Cool-n-Save® system affixes to the top of most home air conditioning units. The system is activated only when the AC unit turns on; hot air from the condenser units fan raises the flap on the patented Cool-n-Save® control valve allowing water to flow to the misters that surround the AC unit. When the ultra-fine mist is released into the air, it evaporates almost instantly creating what is known as a Flash Evaporation, which literally sucks heat out of the air as water absorbs the energy it needs to evaporate. The result of the immediate evaporation constitutes a substantial drop in ambient temperature without wetness up to 30 degrees Fahrenheit.
In fact, the Tulane University Department of Mechanical Engineering has completed a study proving the Cool-n-Save® increases the overall efficiency of an air conditioning system and lowers electricity costs.
The typical Air Conditioning system consists of evaporator coils, a fan inside, a compressor, compressor coils, and a fan outside. The unit cools by using the refrigerant, usually Freon, to transport the heat from inside the space to the outside air. The heat is expelled into the outside air by the action of the fan pulling air over the coils and the heat contained in the refrigerant is transferred to the air.

The problem with the AC system is that in extreme heat, many conventional air conditioners are unable to effectively transfer their stored heat into the surrounding air. They are forced to work harder and longer to cool the air in your home, shortening their life and producing unreasonably high electric bills.
To combat this problem, large commercial AC users such as commercial factories, warehouses and office buildings have been installing professional misting systems around their AC condensers for years. These misting system are much like the misters you may have encountered in restaurant patios and amusement parks. Greenway Design Group, Inc., inventors of the Cool-n-Save® System, have actually designed and installed many of these industrial systems.
When ultra-fine mist is released into the air, it evaporates almost instantly. This "flash evaporation" literally sucks heat out of the air, as the water absorbs the energy it needs to evaporate.
This process, called "adiabatic saturation," is a well-known scientific principal that has been used for years to lower air temperature in outdoor zones.
The result of this constant, immediate evaporation is a substantial drop in ambient temperature without wetness. The air temperature near a misting system is automatically lowered by as much as 30 degrees.
The problem with existing industrial AC misting units is that they are large, complex systems that need to be professionally installed. They rely on electrical solenoids and switches to send water to the misters only when the AC condenser is running. Most homeowners cannot afford to have such a costly commercial grade system installed for them. Once installed, for the average homeowner, they are complex to operate and difficult to maintain - requiring continued maintenance on electrical components.
The Cool-n-Save® breakthrough is its patented control valve, which easily installs to the top of virtually any AC condenser. When the AC unit turns on, it triggers the valve open and filtered water flows to the misters. When the AC unit shuts off, the control valve immediately closes and no water is wasted.
Cool-n-Save® brilliance is in its simplicity. Cool-N-Save® is designed to quickly install on virtually an AC condenser with no tools. No electricity is needed to power the Cool-n-Save™ system, and no complex connections or diagrams need to be followed.
Finally, the scientific principal of energy efficiency used for years by large corporations to save money, can be applied to almost any home AC system.
When applied to your AC condenser unit, the Cool-n-Save® creates a "Chill Zone" which keeps the air around your unit up to 30 degrees cooler than the surrounding air. Because of this, your AC unit can transfer heat much more efficiently, greatly increasing its EER (Energy Efficiency Rating.)
This increased energy efficiency saves you money in two ways. First, the lower temperatures in the AC compressor itself means it runs at a lower pressure, allowing it to work using less energy. Second, your AC unit will run for shorter periods since it will transfer heat much more efficiently. This results in your AC unit using much less electricity, lowering your summer cooling bills!
The term air conditioning most commonly refers to the cooling and dehumidification of indoor air for thermal comfort. An air conditioner (AC or A/C in North American English, aircon in British and Australian English) is an appliance, system, or mechanism designed to stabilize the air temperature and humidity within an area, typically using a refrigeration cycle, most commonly for comfort cooling in buildings and transportation vehicles.
The Cool-n-Save® system was designed to work with central air conditioning units.
The efficiency of air conditioners has increased steadily since the energy crises of the 1970s. The 1987 National Appliance Energy Conservation Act authorized the Department of Energy to set minimum efficiency standards for space conditioning equipment and other appliances each year, based on what is "technologically feasible and economically justified".
Despite technological improvements, many American lifestyle changes have put higher demands on cooling resources. The average size of homes built in the United States has increased significantly, from 1500 sq ft in 1970 to 2300 sq ft in 2005. The single-person household has become more common, as has central air conditioning: 23% of households had central air conditioning in 1978, that figure rose to 55% by 2001.
These energy demands are further compounded by large or over-sized air conditioning units often installed by contractors "in order to avoid complaints, accommodate future expansions, enable quicker cooling down of homes, and to allow for lower cooling set points by homeowner[1]" can drastically increase your cooling costs.
Cool-n-Save® is an inexpensive solution to an expensive problem. Cool-n-Save® can reduce your air conditioning costs by up to 30%.

How Does Air Conditioning Works
One factor which is not taken into account is the reduced wear and tear on the condenser using the Cool-n-Save®. Because the system is able to run more efficiently when it is Pre-cooled, the head pressure in the compressor is greatly reduced, typically between 25-50 lbs. Lowering the head pressure in the compressor will contribute to a longer life expectancy of your system.
Cool Releaseâ„¢: the ultimate water treatment system.
Cool Release™ is an advanced in-line water treatment system designed to control scaling that may occur due to mineral deposits found in your water. A 3-month cartridge is included with every Cool-n-Save® kit. You can opt for a 6-month cartridge when you buy online. We advise that you replace expended cartridges to ensure trouble-free benefits of Cool-n-Save®.
Cool Release water treatment chemically neutralizes common sediment and other chemicals found in your water that could clog the micro nozzles. Non-phosphate polyacrylate agents also attack scale-forming calcium molecules and distorts their geometry. Treated minerals are further dispersed through the water and washed away with minimal adhesion to critical components of your air conditioning unit.
Two years of work went into to Cool Release water treatment technology. We enlisted the help of the nation's foremost experts in water treatment technology to ensure that Cool-n-Save® delivers a sustainable solution to spiraling energy costs.
Cool-n-Save® uses less than 6c of water per day. Even combined with the cost of replacement treatment cartridges, you're way ahead in terms of cost savings from reduced energy use. Most of our customers make back the whole cost of the kit in the first season.
Cool Release™ will eliminate most scale-causing minerals, but in some extreme cases, residue may still develop. We have found that areas characterized extreme atmospheric heat (in excess of 100°F for more than 40 days a year), low relative humidity (below 30%), and higher than normal levels of dissolved minerals in local water supply may leave enough mineral in the mist water to develop 'dry spray' residue on coils, fins, and other surfaces.
If you live in an area where all three conditions exist, check the Cool Release water treatment system to ensure that it is working properly; replace water treatment cartridges when they expire; and if necessary, clean the cooling fins and coils with a SOFT brush and a 50/50 mixture of vinegar and water, or a foaming coil cleaner.
In a scientific study completed by the Department of Mechanical Engineering of Tulane University, researchers proved that the Cool-n-Save® greatly increases the efficiency of air conditioning systems, and therefore can significantly lower electricity costs.
"...cooler air will able to circulate throughout a house and this will decrease the time the condenser unit runs, thus reducing electricity cost to the user."
After rigorous experimentation, researchers at the university
concluded that the Cool-n-Save® reduces the temperatures
of both the air around an AC unit as well as the cooling fins
of the unit across all humidity levels.
The Cool-n-Save® was found to increase "heat-flux," a
measure of how quickly heat is dissipated into the
surrounding air, by as much as 170% over an unmodified AC unit.
The researchers in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Tulane University concluded:
"The implication from these results is that by using a Cool-n-Save®, even in a climate that endures high humidity, the heat transfer from the refrigerant to the air is substantially increased."
"This effect implies that cooler air will able to circulate throughout a house and this will decrease the time the condenser unit runs, thus reducing electricity cost to the user."

More on "Getting Green" from Cool-n-Save®
What is "Greenwashing?"
The practice of companies making their products appear to be environmentally sound by putting them in green packages, claiming they are biodegradable (when they are not), etc.
"Greenwash" is a term used to describe the act of misleading consumers regarding the environmental practices of a company or the environmental benefits of a product or service. The term "Green Sheen" has similarly been used to describe organizations which attempt to appear that they are adopting practices beneficial to the environment.
How to Avoid "Greenwashed" Products

Central Air Conditioning
Central air conditioning, commonly referred to as central air (US) or air-con (UK), is an air conditioning system which uses ducts to distribute cooled and/or dehumidified air to more than one room, or uses pipes to distribute chilled water to heat exchangers in more than one room, and which is not plugged into a standard electrical outlet.
With a typical split system, the condenser and compressor are located in an outdoor unit; the evaporator is mounted in the air handling unit (which is often a forced air furnace). With a package system, all components are located in a single outdoor unit that may be located on the ground or roof.
While many types of air conditioning systems exist the central air conditioning model has several added benefits:
According to the Department of Energy and energy utility companies, the average temperature setting on your thermostat can have a major impact on your electrical bill.
According to Con Edison, if you set your thermostat to a cool 72°F, air conditioning energy cost will be about 95% of your total electrical bill. However, if you keep your thermostat set at 78°F, your air conditioning energy cost will drop to about 56% of your total electric bill.
AOutdoor air temperature can also have a huge impact on the
energy cost of your central air conditioning system. According
to this white paper published by Colorado Springs Utilities,
when outdoor air temperatures reach 95°F, air conditioning
systems gain about 1% efficiency for every degree of decrease
in temperature.
Cool-n-Save's evaporative pre-cool action can reduce ambient air temperature around your air conditioner's outdoor condensing coils by as much as 30°F. Factor in the gain in efficiency, that means you can reduce energy consumption by as much as 30%. That's why we say, "If your home has central air conditioning, there's NO reason you shouldn't install a Cool-n-Save®."
The calculator below uses data provided by the U.S. Department of Energy and power utilities to help you estimate the potential savings you may realize installing Cool-n-Save® on your central air conditioning system.
* Individual savings may differ. Factors such as temperature, humidity levels and electricity provider rate structures can impact actual savings. C02 Average data was sourced from the EPA Climate Change Action Plan (CCAP) 2007.

If your Cool-n-Save® system is not misting properly, there are several things to check:
1. Are the misting nozzles clogged?
2. Is your water supply working properly?
If it appears no water is making it to the Cool-n-Save® system, you must check to make sure the water spigot it is attached to is working properly. Remove the Cool-n-Save® hose adaptor and turn on the water spigot. If water does not flow, first fix your plumbing issues, then reattach the Cool-n-Save® system .
If you have misplaced your Cool-n-Save® installation instructions and box, full instructions are available in our installation section.
The Cool-n-Save® is designed to be almost maintenance free. However, there are a few simple things you can do to ensure your system is working most efficiently.
1. Routine maintenance
The Cool-n-Save® installation instructions specify that the misting arms hang approximately 4 inches over the edge of the AC unit, and point slightly up and away. Depending on your AC configuration, the supplied misting arms may be too long.
Cool-n-Save® misting arms are designed to be bendable and stay where you put them. If you find they are too long, you may trim them with standard wire-cutters. Be careful not to trim too much off the misting arms, leaving yourself plenty of leeway to position the arms for maximum effectiveness. Also, be sure to wear eye protection when doing this or any home improvement task.
The Cool-n-Save® is designed to be very water efficient, and generally uses less than 6 cents of water per day. Any leaks in the system will reduce its efficiency.
1. Hose adaptor leaks
2. Valve unit leaks
The Cool-n-Save® system is designed to easily install on the vast majority of AC condensers. In order to work effectively, the Cool-n-Save® requires only two things from an AC condenser unit:
1. Top air exchange vents
2. Motor mount plate in the middle of the top cover
Under certain conditions, mineral deposits may occur with the Cool-n-Save®. Although the micro-mist evaporates almost instantly, some wetness may reach the coils resulting in calcium and/or lime buildup.This is particularly prevalant in areas with excessively hard water.

The Cool-n-Save® AC Pre-Cooling Misting System requires very little maintenance to keep your air conditioning system running at top efficiency. However, there are a regular maintenance routines which will maximize the lifespan of your Cool-n-Save® as well as keep your AC condenser free of any buildup and running more efficently.
Air Conditioning System Maintenance
Cool-n-Save® evaporates almost instantly, however in some rare conditions, you may notice slight calcium, lime, or rust buildup on the AC fins and/or coils.
Monthly AC unit preventative maintenance will not only dramatically help cut down on any buildup, but will increase the overall efficiency of your condenser. Once a month, we recommend a simple spray down of the outside of your AC condenser coils with a 50/50 mixture of water and white vinegar or lemon concentrate cleaner and rinse it off with clean water at normal household water pressure. This will remove any mineral buildup on your AC condenser, and keep your Air Conditioning System working at top efficiency.
This simple routine is a good idea with or without the Cool-n-Save® attached, as all condensers can accumulate buildup through normal use. This simple procedure once a month will help keep your system in tip-top condition.
Cool-n-Save® Misting System Maintenance
Though unusual, it is possible that one or more of the Cool-n-Save® Misting System Nozzles can become clogged in very hard water areas.
If your nozzles are not performing properly, simply turn off the water supply to the Cool-n-Save® and remove the clogged misting nozzles. Soak the nozzles in a calcium, lime, rust reducing agent product for about 5 minutes, rinse, and replace into the misting arms, and turn your water source back on.
Cool-N-Saveâ„¢ misting system can be installed on almost any residential air conditioner unit in under 10 minutes with no tools!

Step 1/5 Locate 20' feed hose and insert one end into the blue fitting on the control valve marker "IN". Push and twist the tubing until approximately 1/2" is inserted into the flapper. Determine length needed to reach water source. If less than 20', tubing can be cut with scissors. If greater than 20', you can either run a garden hose from the water spigot to within 20' of the AC unit, or order additional tubing to extend length.
Step 2/5 Push and twist each of the three 2' misting arms approximately 1/2" into remaining fittings on the Cool-N-Save control valve (do not install nozzles until Cool-N-Save has been flushed). For optimal performance, nozzles should hang approximately 4" over the edge of the condenser and be pointed slightly up and away from the condenser.
Step 3/5 Position the Cool-N-Saveâ„¢ Control Valve on condenser at the center metal surface so that the misting nozzles are in front of vented air inlet areas on the side of the condenser. The control valve flap should be placed directly above the air stream of the condenser's fan. Some condensers have varied air output areas so it is helpful to feel the output air on top of condenser and place flap over highest output area. Make sure the area where the Cool-N-Saveâ„¢ body is to be placed is clean and dry. Affix to the condenser using the double sided tape on the bottom of Cool-N-Saveâ„¢ control valve.
Step 4/5 Insert the free end of the 20' feed line tightly into the small end of the hose adapter, pushing and twisting until 1/2" is inserted. Place the screen washer into the hose adaptor screen first, then insert the black washer. Attach hose adaptor to the male end of the filter, then attach the female end of filter to the spigot or hose and turn on water. If any leaking occurs, make sure washer is properly seated.

A: Air Conditioning manufacturers, distributors and repair service professionals depend on maintenance, repairs and replacement of equipment for their income. Reducing the need for repairs and parts replacement and increasing the condensers life expectancy by reducing head pressure and shortening cycle time would not in their best interest. The Cool-n-Save System can lengthen the condenser's life from 10% to 50%.
A: The Federal Trade Commission's Magnusson-Moss Warranty Act (P.L. 93-637) states that a manufacturer cannot void or disavow a warranty due to an added-on, second-party product unless it is proven that the second-party product does, in fact, damage equipment and notifies the second-party manufacturer and its customers. The Greenway Design Group, Inc., nor any of its customers, has ever received any such notice or letter from any manufacturer regarding issues of a condenser being affected by the Cool-n-Save® Air Conditioner Pre-Cooling System.
A: Yes! The Cool-n-Save® System is easily installed in less than 10 minutes with NO TOOLS!!
A: No! You will see very little difference in your water bill whereas the unit only runs when the AC condenser is on. The amount of water per nozzle is only .3 gallons per hour/per nozzle. The Cool-n-Save® should only add approximately 6 cents per day to your water bill.
A: Without proper monthly maintenance, it is possible. Our proprietary filter works to prevent the small amounts of calcium, lime, or rust that can buildup on the coils. Although the water from the nozzles evaporates almost immediately, in certain climates, some wetness may reach the coils. Just to be safe,it is always a good idea to spray down the outside of your condenser monthly with a 50/50 mixture of water and white vinegar, and rinse it off. This is a good maintenance idea with or without the Cool-n-Save® system attached.
A: The Cool-n-Save® doesn't have to tie up the water faucet. Although you do need a continuous water source for the system to work you can buy a "Y" splitter from any hardware store which will allow you to leave the Cool-n-Save® water supply running and still access the faucet for other uses.
A: Although it is unusual there is a possibility that one or more of the misting nozzles may clog if there is a high amount of minerals in the water. If this happens, simply remove the nozzles, soak them in a Lime or Hard Water removal product (found at any hardware store) for about 5 minutes and replace them.
A: There is no reason to remove the Cool-n-Save® "control valve" from the top of your AC condenser, however it is recommended to unhook the water supply and drain the feed line prior to cold weather. Failure to do so could result in freezing and cracking.
A: The Cool-n-Save® system can be fitted to all residential air conditioning units with the exchange air vents on top of the unit (the most common configuration). Not recommended for Heat Pumps when in "Heat Mode." If purchased for a Heat Pump it is imperitive that you disconnect the water source when the temperature is consistently below 75 degrees. Running water during 'Heat Mode" will damage the Heat Pump.
A: Yes, there are splitters in every box that will allow you to run several units in a chain.
A: Yes, the Cool-n-Save® support center support_realtechnologysolutions.com is specifically designed for this purpose.
If your home has an AC unit there's NO reason you shouldn't own a Cool-n-Save®.
