We furnish the Air Conditioner and you furnish the Ice Chest of any size you may need. The MK3 must be located higher than the Ice Chest so that the condensation & excess water removal System operates properly. (You will merely slice a narrow slit in the Ice Chest with a knife so that the hoses will alow the lid to close. The hoses are four feet long, however they are easy for you to add on up to ten feet)

How do the Ice Coolers Work?

We have had major interest for a more Flexible Cooling System with the capabilities of the M300 without the Air Conditioner being built into the ice chest. For example for Boats, Campers, Surveillance, Vehicles, Aircraft, etc. where is would be beneficial to have the Air Conditioner in one place and the Ice Chest in another.



The advantage of the MK3 is that it does all the above plus will operate on a portable "Power Station" for hours on end. That means you do not need to use the battery system in your company vehicle or tie into the aircraft system, etc. Also PRE-COOLING or KEEPING an UN-OCCUPIED VEHICLE COOLER is a possibility when using the MK3 with Ice and a "Power Station"or your vehicle battery. (Power Stations are typically available at Target, WalMart, KMart or your Auto Parts or Discount Stores.)


One of the Secrets to Boosting the Cooling System of the MK3 is it's single Custom Cooling Filter Pad! This single Pad should be changed every few hundred hours so that you may continue to enjoy Cooler Fresh Air than any other portable Air Conditioner. Consider ordering an Extra Set of Two Cooling Pads if you want this Model as we even include shipping and handling free with the original order.


For over 100 years different methods of blowing air through Ice always obtained disappointing results & minimal relief from the heat. Ice Chilled Water solved the mystery of how Ice may be used for cooling relief! If you think blowing air into ice works and are considering buying this Ancient System for $39.95 then Click Here.


"Just wanted to let you know I was finally able to use the swampy (M300) yesterday and it was a great success. (The MK3 has the same cooling system as the M300). I did as you suggested and made big bowls of ice. Getting back into a comfortable car (after shopping) was worth all the money in the world to me. Thanks again for all of your help and patience. B.D." Guffey, CO.


The innovative MightyKool MK3 combines ice water Air Conditioning with the age-old art of Evaporative cooling. First the cold water rushes through a special Heat Exchanger to produce Air Conditioning instead of merely evaporative cooled air! You place ice into any size ice chest you choose and then add just enough water to activate the pump.

Another great feature is that you can always get cooler air from the MightyKool MK3 than a standard Evaporative Cooler, even after the ice melts because of the two stage cooling process. Some people are also satisfied with the cooling produced by adding the reusable Freeze Packs to the water instead of ice. A fully charged 105 amp hour deep cycle battery would typically last from 25 to 35 hours if you are using one for camping or boating and do not charge your battery in between times.

Our first ice air conditioning unit was the Icester AC12 which proved the need for this type of cooling, however the cooling ceases once the ice melts. Now with the MK3 you have the option of evaporative cooling alone,or you may utilize the Dual Cooling System by selecting to use the Ice feature and have Air Conditioning combined with Evaporative Cooling. A powerful system adds up to a great alternative to Refrigerated Air Conditioning.

How the MK3 works: Block or Solid Cubed Ice is placed in the ice chest with only enough water to get the pump working. The Ice Chilled Water is then pumped through a special Heat Exchanger inside the MK3 at over 300 Gallons Per Hour, which also feeds the custom evaporative filter pad.

The blower motors force ambient air through the Heat Exchanger and evaporative pad providing you with Air Conditioning. This cold air is then directed outward to cool the occupants through the two adjustable cold air vents. The water that has been used plus excess condensation collected is deposited back into the ice chest.

Our ice models produce a large quantity of Cold Air because they are capable of consuming up to 20 pounds (7.5 kilos) of ice per hour during the day & around 13 pounds (5.9 kilos) during the nighttime hours! Ice has a vast energy base and the quicker you melt it the more energy you derive from it in the way of cold air produced. A 48-quart Ice Chest filled with block ice will last from 4 to 5 hours.

Emptying the excess water from the Ice Chest is a breeze as you remove the return line from your Ice Chest and the secondary pump inside the MK3 itself pumps the water wherever you wish.
