We've just graduated from sail and a few years down in Central America without AC. Now we have the space and power needed for AC and want to replace the current, ancient, AC systems.
I've been looking at the EnviroCool 'Self-contained Air Conditioning System' and it looks like it would be a breeze to install. The one question I have is if the 'optional' (not included) salt water cooling pump is automatically controlled/powered by such self-contained units ? IOW, does the power to the pump come on when the AC unit thermostat powers up the compressor ?
The ancient systems we are replacing have the salt water pump on continuously when the AC is on, even when the compressor isn't running, and that seems like a real waste.
Thanks.
