Ray, I used a very similar swamp cooler, the Home Depot bucket, but I had a lot more holes in the bucket probably The top half of the bucket was holes, this gave me a lot more airflow and I think it made my cooler much more efficient. I also put in a standoff of pipe insulation on the inside of the bucket, I then placed my blue filter media against the standoffs and it kept the wet media from rubbing against the outside of the bucket this eliminated any water exiting the bucket through the holes. The standoffs were tubular hot water pipe insulators and I cut them to fit the inside of the bucket and placed the media against it. I hot glued these rings of standoff material against the side of the bucket.
