My swamp cooler is spitting water into the house through the vents, what would cause this?

A broken water tube-- the part that looks like a spider and distributes the water to the pads, could be cracked or broken.
Really bad pads can cause this too; and perhaps the float valve is malfunctioning, the overflow outlet is clogged and the water is just overfilling and flowing down the vent.
Swamp coolers are really very simple, but they do need regular maintenance like everything else.

If it is a roof unit check to see if the water reservoir is over full and water is spilling down the duct. Also make sure the water that the pump pumps to the pads is not mis directed and getting sucked in the blower.
If it is a wall unit check to see if the water is getting sprayed into the blower wheel. You will have to open it up to see exactly where the water is entering from.
Swamp coolers are very simple machines so you should not have much trouble finding where it is entering from.

I've worked on these many times in Vegas, look at the water level, it's running over. The float on the water leveler is sticking, that's all.
It's like the float in the toilet tank, same idea, check it and make sure it's clean, it must have something in it. In Vegas it was the pigeons, they would get feathers in them and they would build up and stick in everything. I was always cleaning them.

One of your distributor tubes at the top of the unit is not aimed properly and water is spilling onto the blower.
