4) don't let your swamp water sit - constantly plan on dumping a small amount to reduce mineral buildup
5) find a way of recirculating the swamp water to force it to saturate your evap pad - just like the house units. You may go cheap by simply using fresh water dripped onto the top of the pad and then dumping all overflow.
6) a small swamp cooler setup shouldn't use much water every day - I'd guesstimate less than 10 gal, even in your environment. A larger swamp for a house may use up to 60 gal per day - your limited usage would be much less.
7) see if you can find a way of dumping the "used" humidified air outside - humid air in your apartment will cause the air conditioning to work harder than it needs to

I've used a dual-stage swamp for a few years now. More efficient, yes, but best used in very dry environments only (like yours). My mother and father met in Mojave, btw.

Sorry, I don't have any AC, Just the Swamp Cooler and a Gas Fired wall heater, Or for those that don't know what the term Swamp Cooler means, It's just an Evaporative Cooler, Where I'm moving to (Yermo, CA, USA) the Humidity averages out to about 16% per day, Rainfall is near or about 4.00" per Year and Yeah thats really dry. Nothing like paying rent of course. And Yeah I was thinking of dumping the excess heat outside anyway in a process like the Swamp Cooler does, Since the cost of water is included in My rent of $400.00 per month along with Trash and Sewage of course.
