Dear Mr. McDonald,
There is a huge mistake in modern tower water coolers and it is related to the used packing, a weird packing is now becoming worldwide accepted. if you have inside your tower water cooler a kind of packing which does not allow free downfall of water, then this packing is most probably the reason for troubles. The appropriate packing is Raschig Rings or any similar packing which is normally used in mass transfer towers and recommended by chemical engineering textbooks.
