Will I need a special plug for my Portacool evaporative cooler?

Maybe. All Classic Portacool evaporative coolers and Portacool Cyclone evaporative coolers require a standard three-prong 115-volt electrical outlets. Portacool Jetstream evaporative coolers EXCEPT the Portacool Jetstream 270 (PACJS270) also use a standard three-prong 115-volt electrical outlets.

The exceptions to standard outlets are: Portacool Jetstream 270 (PACJS270) requires a 5-20R power outlet; the Portacool Hurricane 360 (PACHR360) requires a 5-20R power outlet; the Portacool Hurricane 370 (PACHR370) requires a 240v outlet; the Portacool Hazardous Location (PACHZ260 and 270) require a certified electrician to hardwire the power cords into an appropriate electrical outlet.
