Q&A

Maintenance Tips

• Replace MERV-13 filter every 3–6 months – Keeps airflow strong and protects the coil system for consistent 70-pint/day performance.
• Use washable pre-filter (clean regularly) – Rinse and dry to remove dust buildup common in crawl spaces.
• Maintain proper clearance (≥12") – Do not block intake/exhaust; ensures efficient airflow in tight crawl spaces.
• Inspect 8-ft drain hose frequently – Ensure continuous gravity drainage with no kinks, clogs, or backflow.
• Keep unit properly suspended or level – Use hang kit or leveling feet to prevent vibration issues and ensure correct drainage.
• Check humidity sensor (included remote hygrometer) – Verify readings are accurate to avoid over/under dehumidification.
• Clean intake area and surrounding crawl space – Reduce dust, debris, and mold risk that can strain the system.
• Maintain operating temperature range (49°F–95°F) – Prevents coil icing and ensures stable performance in seasonal conditions.
• Inspect ducting (if installed) – Ensure no leaks or restrictions affecting airflow balance in crawl space zones.
• Annual professional inspection – Recommended for coil condition, electrical checks, and overall system efficiency.
