Features

Save energy, stay cool.

Massive water pad

A multi-piece 60 × 60 × 6 in pad gives the air a large, evenly flowing surface of water to pass through, and a valve sets how much water reaches it.

EC-drive motor

18,800 CFM from a direct-drive motor: no belts, ever. Variable speed lets you set the airflow to suit the space, and the motor is bolted to an aviation-grade, five-blade fan hub.

Exoskeleton frame

Galvanized exoskeleton framing wraps the textured, antibacterial housing and protects it from heat, flexing and warping, rough handling, water corrosion, drops and forklift knocks. Because durability is reliability.

PAG impeller

Injection-molded PAG fan blades on an aluminum hub machined for dynamic balance and efficient performance.

Control panel

The LCD control panel runs the EC drive’s variable speed. Save your preferred start and stop settings in the panel, so the cooler comes on the way you left it.

Energy efficiency

The motor moves 18,800 CFM while drawing only about 0.75 kW, from a standard 110 V outlet.

Water valve adjustment

Turn the valve on the side of the machine to set the water flow. Open it all the way in a heat wave; dial it down when the air is muggy, to suit the humidity where you are.

Temperature reduction

Evaporative cooling brings the temperature down while using very little energy. How far depends on the building and the local climate.

A Lifesaver in the Sacramento Heat!

★★★★★

This unit has been a lifesaver this summer dealing with the Sacramento heat! It’s amazing how much cool air it puts out and how much of a difference it makes in our shop. We couldn’t be happier with the purchase. Highly recommend!

Great for fire station use

We bought this for the bays of our fire station that are extremely hot. This unit has been instrumental and helping our firefighters cool down during training and apparatus check offs. We love the variable speed option as well.

Gamechanger

Legacy is great. I have a 60x60 metal building outside Las Vegas with insulation and a 3 head mini split ac but it’s not enough, the legacy is a monster. I filled it up and put some ice in and it blew 52 degree air which felt great. I can move it to whatever area I’m working at. Highly recommended

Livestock Cooling with BlueCo Evaporative Cooler

The BlueCo Legacy 30 Portable Evaporative Cooler worked great in our space. We show livestock and needed something to lower the temperature in a bank barn. The temperature was dropped significantly with cool air flow supported by fans. No issues, complaints or concerns with the product!

Beats the warehouse heat

The BlueCo evaporative cooler works great in our warehouse during the Utah summer heat. It’s easy to talk when the fan is running and this thing really moves some air. We leave it permanently plugged into a hose so we don’t have to refill it and the fittings are tight with no leaks. For almost half the price of another evap cooler brand out there, the BlueCo unit accomplishes the same task. Customer service was on top of it as well when we had a shipping address issue and then a question about how to safely keep the evaporative medium clean. This BlueCo cooler is a great value.

30" Cooling Fan

This is a great fan. It really cools our shop in this Arkansas heat. It makes a huge difference. We like it so much that we bought a second one to put on job sites for the guys.

Life Saver

We purchased 2 of the Variant-36 Evaporative coolers this year for our aircraft maintenance hangar. The units are very well built and the digital control panel is fantastic and simple to use. Our hangar is roughly 15,000 square and the 2 units keep it very comfortable inside with the temps reaching 100°F outside. I do not know how we survived before without the units

Best Cooler EVER!

Hands down the best cooler we have ever purchased for our tire shop. On those hot and humid days it provides cooling relief throughout our mounting area. Definitely going to be purchasing another one soon to use in other parts of the warehouse.

Legacy 30: cool, quiet, awesome!

Blueco’s Legacy 30 is working great for my 30’x40’ shop which has 14’ eaves. Ordered from Blueco online on 7/5 and arrived 7/11/2025. Super quick and easy to work with freight company. Set up was a breeze and control pad is intuitive. Hooked up a hose, filled the reservoir, and turned it on. I noticed an immediate difference in the temperature. Construction and media look solid and I look forward to having a cooler shop. Will recommend to friends, family, customers, and other businesses. The only thing I would change is the temp read out on the interface is in Cesius, would prefer Fahrenheit.
