Maintenance
As a homeowner, ATMOX suggests a periodic maintenance
inspection of your ATMOX system and crawlspace by your
installer. Conditions in and around your home are always
changing. Please be aware of the following during other
times of year:
Power Connection
If the ATMOX display screen is not showing any readings, it
most likely has no electrical power and is not operating. In
this case, see if something is unplugged or make sure that
the outlet being used for the Controller has power. If the
Controller has no power, then contact your installer for more
information.
System Alarms
If the ATMOX system has an alarm such as missing hardware,
then the system will not operate. Please check periodically to
make sure that the display has no alerts needing attention.
Fan Operation
The ATMOX fans or vent covers should periodically be
brushed off lightly to keep debris such as mulch or pine
needles from blocking ventilation. The ATMOX display does
not give a notification if any single or group of fans are not
operating. Fans should periodically be checked for operation.
Moisture Management
vs.
Water Management
It is important to note that the ATMOX system is a moisture
management system and not a water management system.
Dry air or a dehumidifier cannot get rid of standing water
in the crawlspace. Every effort should be made to drain
water away from the foundation. Gutters should be cleaned
out, and downspouts should drain away from the house. If
you have water intrusion in your crawlspace, this needs to
addressed separately from or in addition to your moisture
problem.
If you live in a very humid climate and have excessive
ground moisture being released into the crawlspace during
peak summer months, it may be necessary to incorporate
an optional dehumidifier with the ATMOX system. Most
homes do not need a dehumidifier, but there are exceptions.
Contact your installer if you have questions about your
situation or need more information.
