You can get some chemicals at homedepot that will resolve the mineral build up in your water distributor.

If you don't have your cooler set up on a bleed system, the pipes and pads will get packed with minerals very fast. You should be bleeding a small portion of the water in the sump off constantly to keep from minerals from building up in the water distribution system and evap pads.

I worked at a evap cooler mfg for 12 years and failure to set up your bleed off correctly was the #1 cause of problems.
