PolarCool 36"- Pro Stainless Steel

PolarCool SS-Pro 36" Stainless Steel Evaporative Cooling System

Introducing the pinnacle of evaporative cooling technology: the PolarCool SS-Pro 36" with premium all-stainless steel construction. This flagship model combines the innovative features of our next-generation Pro design with the legendary durability of impenetrable stainless steel housing—delivering top-of-the-line cooling made with premium materials at direct-to-consumer pricing. Built to last decades in the most extreme environments, the SS-Pro represents all the innovation of our fan design and the heart of ruggedness that our brand was built on.

The Return of a Legend

Our company was founded on manufacturing rugged and tough agricultural products. Specifically, heating, ventilation, and electronic controls designed and tested for use in the most extreme environments. Over 20 years ago, we released our PolarCool product line, taking the same technology, components, and electronics used in those rugged applications to create a portable evaporative cooling fan made to last decades. Our original fans stood out from the competition with all-stainless steel construction—meaning no concern about corrosion or any deformation to the housing as a result of heat or UV exposure.

Ten years ago, we added black powder-coated galvanized steel fans to offer customers another price point. Through the redesign process that created the 36" PolarCool PRO with increased reservoir capacity, we temporarily discontinued our stainless steel line.We couldn't help but think something was missing.

Today, we're excited to launch the 36" PolarCool SS-PRO—taking all the great improvements and features of the new 36" Pro and putting them in an impenetrable stainless steel housing. This unit represents the perfect fusion of cutting-edge innovation and the legendary ruggedness our brand was built on.

Extreme Environment Ready – Designed and tested for the most extreme conditions including coastal areas, chemical plants, food processing facilities, wash-down environments, and agricultural operations.

Next-Generation Pro Features

X-Large 38-40 Gallon Reservoir – You asked, and we answered! 

The #1 most-requested feature: a rotationally molded reservoir 3x larger than our original 36" model. This expanded capacity allows for running up to three times longer without a direct water supply—perfect for extended shifts and remote locations.

10,000 CFM Powerful Airflow – Delivers exceptional cooling performance for spot and area cooling where you need it, when you need it. Ideal for warehouses, manufacturing facilities, outdoor events, construction sites, and commercial spaces.

Variable 10-Speed Control – Precision touchpad interface allows hassle-free operation and status monitoring. Adjust airflow from gentle breeze to maximum cooling to match conditions and conserve water.

Premium Cooling Media – Edge-coated evaporative cooling pads provide extended life and improved durability. Treated with specially formulated, algae-resistant substrate for low-maintenance, consistent performance.

Intelligent Protection – Low-water shutoff automatically stops the pump when reservoir water level is low, preventing damage and extending equipment life.

Easy Maintenance Access – Hinged top cover allows quick and easy access to the interior for maintenance, pad replacement, and cleaning.Professional-Grade Power – 20-foot GFCI-protected power cord (120VAC, 8.5A) ensures safe operation in wet or outdoor environments.

How Evaporative Cooling Works

Evaporative cooling is a time-tested and efficient means of reducing air temperature, especially useful when the space to be cooled is well ventilated. The process requires just two factors: water and moving air. When air is forced through a water-saturated medium, some of the water is pulled away and quickly evaporates. This draws heat from the moving air, thereby lowering the ambient temperature—delivering energy-efficient cooling without the high costs of traditional air conditioning.

Why Choose Stainless Steel?

Lifetime Durability – Stainless steel construction means this unit is built to last decades, not years. The investment in premium materials pays dividends through extended service life and minimal maintenance.

Corrosion Immunity – In environments where powder-coated or painted units would corrode and fail, stainless steel thrives. Perfect for coastal areas, chemical exposure, wash-down applications, and high-humidity environments.

Hygiene & Cleanability – Stainless steel is the gold standard in food service, medical, and pharmaceutical applications. Non-porous surface resists bacteria, cleans easily, and maintains sanitary conditions.

Heat Resistance – Unlike coated metals that can blister or degrade under extreme heat, stainless steel maintains structural integrity in high-temperature environments.

UV Stability – Powder coatings and paints fade and chalk under UV exposure. Stainless steel maintains its appearance indefinitely, even in direct sunlight.

Resale Value – Premium stainless steel construction maintains higher resale value compared to coated alternatives.Professional Image – The distinctive stainless steel finish projects quality, cleanliness, and professionalism—ideal for customer-facing installations.

Energy Efficiency & Cost Savings

Like all PolarCool evaporative cooling systems, the SS-Pro uses up to 75% less energy than traditional air conditioning while delivering 10,000 CFM of powerful airflow. The 38-40 gallon reservoir provides extended runtime, reducing water refilling frequency and labor costs.

Operating Considerations

For optimal performance:

• Ventilation Required: Works best in well-ventilated spaces with adequate airflow
• Best Performance: Most effective in environments with relative humidity below 60%
• Water Supply: Consumes approximately 12 gallons per hour in spaces ≥ 90°F
• Maintenance: Replace evaporative cooling pads regularly for consistent performance
• Climate: Ideal for dry and arid climates; less effective in humid regions
