Abstract: A method and device for automatically resetting a water-cooled air conditioner system at least once during a 24 hour period. The device included a tamper resistant housing having a micro-controller electrically coupled to a 24 volt external power source. A normally closed relay is coupled to the micro-controller, the relay having an input and output receptacle for selectively coupling to a low voltage input power line of an air conditioner system. The micro-controller is programmed to randomly open the relay input and output receptacle at least once every 24 hour period to stop the operation of the air conditioning system for timed sequence of about 4 minutes for purposes of resetting the air conditioner system.
