I use the former on my furnace that I run part time to move air around and use CoolPad Plus pads in my cooler which don't have a MERV rating, but allegedly blocks 89% of pollen, dust and airborne particles. I can smell the smoke, but it is quite subdued compared to the outside.

If you have a well sealed home and a good AC filter, you shouldn't smell much of anything inside, but most homes leak like a sieve. In that case, the positive pressure of the evaporative cooler may well be better as almost all the air in the house has been filtered by the pads.

Mine filters nicely.

All I can smell in my house is my own farts.

Apparently there is a fire on the north end of Reno now, near panther valley, and 2500 homes have lost power as a result.

cody · 2007-07-19, 03:07 PM

Hmmmm, is it causing traffic issues on 395? I'll take N. Virginia home to Stead if so.

Yeah I had to reset my clocks, fucking fires.

Anyone know where all this smoke is coming from? I checked this website, but they aren't showing anything.

California has a huge 90,000 acre fire burning and the jet stream is bringing the smoke in.

sperry · 2007-08-13, 11:36 AM

All I know is that I can't see Mt. Rose from IGT. That's some shitty air quality right there.

Nick Koan · 2007-08-13, 12:17 PM

According to the Reno Gazette Journal, the haze is here to stay for the week. But the air quality isn't supposed to suffer that much. The smoke is coming from fires around Santa Barbara and Fresno.

Yay!

Haze from SoCal fires to stay for the week
JEFF DELONG
RENO GAZETTE-JOURNAL
Posted: 8/13/2007

Smoke hazing the skies of Northern Nevada is blowing here from fires burning far away in Southern California and is expected to be present in the area through much of the week, experts said.

Despite the haze, air quality is still rated in the good range today, according to officials from Washoe District Health’s air quality division.
A primary culprit in the smoke seen locally is the massive Zaca Fire burning near Santa Barbara, said Kyle Mozley, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Reno. A southwesterly flow of winds is carrying the smoke northward to settle over the Truckee Meadows and Lake Tahoe Basin, Mozley said.
“It’s blowing up this way,” Mozley said. “That’s where most of it is coming from.”
The Zaca Fire has burned for six weeks and charred about 148 square miles of brush and forest, officials said. The fire surged across 13 square miles of arid brush overnight Sunday, officials said.
Smoke is also blowing toward the Reno-Tahoe from the Tar Fire near Fresno, which has burned almost 5,000 acres.
Smoky conditions are not as bad as when a fire is burning locally but could produce uncomfortable conditions for the elderly or those with breathing problems, said Duane Sikorski, air quality supervisor for the health department.
“If it’s bothering people, they should curtail any outdoor exercise,” Sikorski said. “Just stay indoors.”
Afternoon winds should clear the smoke away but it’s likely to settle again overnight, producing hazy mornings throughout the week, Mozley said.
