Preair Crawl Space Dehumidifier Maintenance

How to maintain a crawl space dehumidifier?

Regular maintenance is important to keep your crawl space dehumidifier working effectively and efficiently. Here are some general steps to follow for maintaining your dehumidifier:

Clean or replace the air filter: The air filter in your dehumidifier helps trap dust and other particles, but it can become clogged over time. Check the filter regularly and clean or replace it as needed.

Empty the water collection bucket: Most dehumidifiers have a bucket or tray to collect the water that is removed from the air. Make sure to empty the bucket regularly to prevent water from overflowing and causing damage.

Clean the coils: The coils in your dehumidifier can also become dirty, which can reduce the unit's efficiency. Use a soft brush or cloth to gently clean the coils.

Check the drainage system: If your dehumidifier is connected to a drainage system, such as a sump pump, make sure it is working properly and not clogged with debris.

Check for leaks: Inspect the dehumidifier and the surrounding area for signs of leaks or water damage. If you notice any issues, address them promptly to prevent further damage.

Follow manufacturer's instructions: Be sure to follow the instructions of the dehumidifier manufacturer for your specific dehumidifier model, including any recommended maintenance or cleaning procedures.

Regular maintenance of your crawl space dehumidifier can help extend its lifespan and ensure it continues to effectively control humidity levels in your home.
