Description
The GMC 22 Litre Air Cooler delivers powerful, energy-efficient cooling. Designed for modern homes, this portable air cooler uses a filtration system that cleans the air as it cools, helping reduce dust and fine airborne particles while keeping your space refreshingly cool.
Built around a high-efficiency blower and honeycomb (Celdeck) cooling pads, the GMC 22 Litre Air Cooler provides fast, uniform cooling with a strong air throw, making it ideal for rooms, offices and bedrooms up to 35m² . With low power consumption (150–165W) and inverter compatibility, it delivers consistent cooling without driving up electricity costs.
Note: This cooler is designed for dry, hot climates and requires good ventilation for optimal performance. It is not suitable for humid environments or enclosed spaces, as it will increase humidity. For best results, use in well-ventilated areas with consistent airflow.
The large 22 litre air cooler water tank ensures extended cooling performance, while features such as automatic vertical louvers, dust filtration, and multi-directional castor wheels add everyday convenience. Compact, portable, and eco-friendly, the GMCAB22 offers a smarter alternative to traditional cooling solutions — no refrigerants, no compressors, just clean, naturally cooled air.

Frequently Asked Questions – Air Coolers
What is an air cooler and how does it work?
An air cooler uses water evaporation to lower air temperature. Warm air passes through water-saturated cooling pads, and the evaporation process cools and humidifies the air before circulating it into the room. This is an evaporative air cooler, not a refrigerated air conditioner. The product is designed for dry, hot climates and requires airflow in the designated usage area. It is not suitable for humid climates.
What areas in South Africa are suitable for Air Coolers?
If you’re located in areas like Free State, Northern Cape, Gauteng, Limpopo, North West, or Mpumalanga, this cooler is your perfect solution. It provides an energy-efficient, eco-friendly way to stay cool in arid conditions, using evaporative cooling technology, not refrigerated air conditioning.
Do air coolers work in humid climates?
No, air coolers are best suited for dry, hot climates. In humid areas, their cooling efficiency is significantly reduced and will create humid environments.
Can I use an air cooler in a closed room?
No, it’s not recommended. Air coolers require good ventilation for optimal performance-keep windows or doors slightly open to allow air circulation. The product will not work correctly if used in an enclosed space
How much water does an air cooler use?
Water usage depends on the model, but most consume between 1-3 litres per hour.
How often should I refill the water tank?
This depends on the tank size and usage. For an 22L tank, you can expect around 6-12 hours of cooling before needing to refill.
How do I clean and maintain an air cooler?
Regularly clean the water tank, cooling pads, and dust filters to maintain hygiene and performance. Please follow the user manual for your new GMCAB22 Air Cooler
Are air coolers energy-efficient?
Yes, air coolers use up to 80% less electricity than air conditioners, making them an economical cooling solution.
Can air coolers run without water?
Yes, most air coolers can run in fan-only mode without water, but cooling performance will be reduced. For the best results, always use water when operating in cooling mode. Important: Never run cooling mode without water, as this can damage the pump and will void the product warranty.
I’m still unsure which product to choose. Can you help?
Absolutely. Our GMC team is always happy to assist you in selecting the right product for your needs. Simply get in touch, and we’ll guide you through the options to ensure you choose the best cooling solution for your space.
