This past summer was the second season I've had a Kool-Cel wall in the greenhouse, and I clearly wasn't very successful at keeping the pads clean. Kool-Cel is the stuff that looks like a Brobdingnabian's implementation of corrugated cardboard; you pump water over it, allow it to trickle down, and pull air through the wet pads to cool evaporatively (if that can be an adjective).
How do folks keep their Kool-Cel pads clean and free of algae? What do you use, how often, and how much? How long do your pads last? Are there better pads available than the ones from Kool-Cel? Where do you buy your replacement pads?
