All the popular brands. Q. Can you have zones with evaporative systems. A. Motorized dampers are unsuitable with evaporative systems due to the high humidity. You can close the vents on the grills to shut off a room. Q. Can I have one that empties the tank when it is turned off? A. A dump valve will drain the tank when the unit is switched off. This helps to keep the water fresh and reduce problems associated with stagnant water. Q. Why does water drip from the unit when it is running? A. That is called a bleed-off. This is to prevent a build up of salts in the water forming on the filter pads by washing it off continuously. This water should be drained into the downpipe and not allowed to run into the gutters where it may cause corrosion due to the high salt content. This water should not be used on the garden. Q. What stops the draught coming through the vents in winter? A. An optional weather-seal (a spring loaded blade which opens up under the force of the air from the unit) or optional winter covers over the unit. You should also close the grilles up to prevent heat loss in winter.
