Inspect filter. Look for accumulated dust and dirt that would restrict airflow
through the filter into the unit. If any is visible, vacuum out the debris. Do
not wash the filter, as it will reduce the effectiveness of the electrostatic
material.
Important: Replace the filter after:
It has been vacuumed clean 3 times.
It has been used on a mold remediation job.
Periodic Inspections (as needed)
Make sure the unit is unplugged. Remove housing, in order to locate the coil,
pump and drain hose.
Check coil and clean visible dirty
Vacuum both sides of the coils until clean.
Check pump
Inspect and clean the pump system regularly to maintain effective
operation. Remove one screw to open up the top cover, and then
open up the second cover. Clean the float shaft to make sure the
floating switch can operate smoothly.
Check drain hose
Look for obstructions. Disconnect and clear any debris present.

How to Use Dehumidifiers
Setting Up a Drying Area
Managing the electrical consumption
The dehumidifier should be plugged into a grounded electrical outlet. In large
disaster environments, the use of optional 230V to 115V converters may be
helpful. This allows you to use the electricity from the electric stove or oven
which in turn will leave the electricity from the wall available for your air movers.
These converters will minimize tripping of electrical breakers when lots of air
movers and dehumidifiers are present.

Create a closed drying chamber
The dehumidifier should be operated in an enclosed space in order to create a
drying chamber. Close all doors, windows or areas that open to the outside to
maximize the unit’s water removal efficiency. Inside the drying chamber, air
should circulate freely. Open interior doors and turn on Air Movers to increase
the circulation.
Position the dehumidifier
Place the dehumidifier in the center of a room and keep it away from anything
that could prevent airflow into and out of the unit.
Managing the rising temperature
The dehumidifier warms the air as it removes moisture. Room temperatures
between 68oF and 84oF are favorable temperatures for drying. In summer
months while drying flooded homes, set the A/C to 68oF with the A/C blower on
constant (ON). This will circulate the air in the entire home to make sure the
dry air is distributed evenly. In the winter, set the furnace to at least 65oF with
the blower set to the “ON” position.
When the unit has been stored or transported in temperatures below 60oF,
place the dehumidifier in the room for about an hour before operating (when
possible). This will allow the unit to acclimate to the warmer ambient
temperature minimizing conditions that cause the coils to freeze up thereby
engaging the defrost cycle.
CAUTION! Never operate the Aquatrap dehumidifier at temperatures above
100oF. It could damage the machine construction and internal
components.

Operating Your Dehumidifier
Place the dehumidifier in upright position
If the dehumidifier has been laid down in a horizontal position for any time over
a few minutes, you must set it upright (vertical) for 30 minutes before starting.
Connect the drainage system
You can find the hose wrapped around the back of the machine. Unwrap the
entire hose and run it into a sink, toilet, drain, or bucket. Remove any kinks in
the hose. Use bleach in the condensate pump once a year to keep clean.
Plug in the electrical cord
The electrical cord is stored wrapped around the air outlet on the back of the
unit. Unwrap the cord and plug it into a standard outlet with the correct voltage
and amperage for the unit. If using an optional 230V to 115V converter that
allows you to plug in multiple units at the same time using your customers’
electric clothes dryer, stove or oven outlet, always check the voltage with a volt
meter.
