Does it come with the Igloo cooler?

No. The PM-18FO is the lid (fan and pump assembly) only. You supply a standard 10-gallon Igloo cooler. Most contractors buy the cooler locally to avoid the freight cost on a bulky empty container.

Will it work in high humidity?

The misting function depends on evaporation. In high-humidity climates the mist will not evaporate fully and you can end up with wet floors instead of cooler air. Use the fan-only mode when relative humidity is above the high 60s; use mist-plus-fan in dry heat.

How much area does it cool?

Roughly 400 square feet of effective cooling zone in dry to moderately humid conditions. Position the fan at one edge of the work area and let the mist carry downwind toward the operators.

How often does the cooler need refilling?

Run time depends on duty cycle. Continuous misting at 85 PSI from a 10-gallon tank typically gives several hours of operation. Most jobsites top off the cooler at break time.

Can I plumb it to a building water supply?

The PM-18FO is built to draw from the cooler. Permanent water-line plumbing requires a different TPI configuration. Contact us if you want a fixed-supply option for warehouse or factory installation.

Yes. The 18-foot cord is GFCI-protected and the unit is rated for outdoor industrial use. Park it on stable ground; like any outdoor fan it should not be left unattended in storms.

FAQ

The TPI PM-18FO is an 18-inch heavy-duty fan and pump lid that drops onto an existing Igloo 10-gallon cooler to create an evaporative misting fan with about 400 square feet of cooled work zone. Outdoor work crews, warehouses, and shop teams use it to keep workers productive in summer heat without the weight or water-supply hassle of a standalone misting cart.

Built for

Outdoor jobsites needing operator cooling on hot work days
Warehouse and loading-dock crews moving in still air
Auto shops, body shops, and welding bays
Outdoor events, sporting venues, and tented operations
Agricultural and stable cooling for animals and handlers

How the lid system works

The PM-18FO is the lid only - it bolts onto an existing 10-gallon Igloo cooler that you provide locally. That keeps the shipping freight reasonable and lets you replace the cooler base separately if it gets cracked on a jobsite. The toggle switch runs the fan only or fan and mist together, so you can use it as a regular shop fan when humidity is high and switch on the misting pump when the air dries out enough to evaporate water.
