A device for killing bacteria and algae in the water reservoir of an evaporative cooler. The water conditioner kills bacteria and limits algae growth by inducing a DC current on the water itself. The interaction of a zinc disk and a copper ring encircling it produces a small voltage (approximately 4-6 volts and a current in the milliamp range). The zinc acts as an anode, and the copper ring acts as a cathode. Assembly posts and end pieces act as supports and also as an insulator between the two metals of the assembly and the metal parts of the evaporative cooler. By killing bacteria present in the water and limiting the growth of algae, the water conditioner eliminates foul odors, controls rust and corrosion, and maintains the freshness of the water over long periods of time, thereby ensuring greater indoor air quality when the evaporative cooler is operated.
