A support assembly for a cooling pad evaporation system to be used in an opening within the wall of a building and having a water conductor provided with spaced openings in the top thereof, a cover for the water conductor which dissipates water completely over the top surface of the pad, a plurality of individually distinct cooling cells, and a gutter positioned below the pads. The cover is made up of two major structural pieces; one being the rear piece which is attached to the wall, and the other being a front piece with one end extending over and interlocking with a flange located on the top of the rear piece. Inside the cover is a top cover connector, which is an inverted "L"-shaped member providing a uniform surface for deflecting the upwardly directed water down onto the pads, water conductor support brackets and a water conductor. The lower gutter assembly contains a gutter support which is attached to the wall and has a flange extending at an angle toward the wall to catch the water descending the rear side of the cooling pad, and further contains a flange supporting only the rear corner of the cooling pad. The gutter, which hooks into the gutter support, contains a flange extending at an angle away from the wall for catching the water descending the front of the cooling pad, and a horizontal flange supporting only the front lower corner of the cooling pad. In addition, the gutter contains an area below these horizontal support flanges for collecting water; this area being lined by a gutter connector having a "U"-shaped member running the length of the gutter. The system also uses several ring-topped hooks as pad retainers when more than one pad is used.
