Pump Maintenance
Your AlorAir Sentinel HDi100 is equipped with an integral condensate pump designed to pump water
from the dehumidifier out to the desired drain.
The pump requires routine maintenance that is not covered by the warranty.
Preventative maintenance is necessary to prevent issues from dirt and slime that may
accumulate in the drain system. This includes the drain pan, hose to the condensate pump,
pump reservoir, pump head assembly, and discharge tubing.
Coil Maintenance
·
Once per year, clean the coils with an approved coil cleaner. The
coil cleaner should be a self-rinsing, foaming, cleaner, such as
WEB® Coil Cleaner.
