Summers here and the livings, easy????
Summertime is here and a whole new category of service phone calls seem to present themselves around this time of year. The biggest one is the puddle of water around the Water Treatment System that comes and goes from time to time. This is almost always brought on by the rise in Humidity levels in the Summer air. So many customers underestimate this problem. I have seen situations where people actually had a fan blowing on the system trying to dry it off. This only made it worse!
If your Water Treatment system is Pre-wrapped in a nice Sweat Jacket and your basement air is dry all year then you probably don’t suffer from this issue. But, for everyone else here are some steps that can help.
The best way to stop the problem is to wrap the Treatment Tanks with closed cell foam. I have actually purchased closed cell foam sleeping mats from a local hiking store, cut them to fit, and then used duct tape to seal them up. It works great! Just turn the tape to the back when you’re done for a nice professional look. You can also place a dehumidifier in the room. You will want to be sure that all of the doors and windows are shut, so as not to allow more Humidity to enter the room. The more air movement around the Cold Water Treatment System the more Condensed Humidity you will get. I will be writing more on Summertime service issues later this week. Until then, wrap those tanks, and enjoy your great water!
