About Abestorm

Abestorm Crawl Space NeatyFresh Max allows for the free circulation of air on the porch and under the house. High moisture levels in the crawl spaces can lead to the decay and rot of wooden pillars that support the house, floor, joists, and beam pillars. Also, high humidity causes an increase in termite activity and the growth of fungi. Rust, which causes corrosion and leaks in metallic pipes, is also factored into the moisture level in your crawl space.

With our ventilation fan, radon gas from treated wood is expelled away. This gas and other odors can easily spread into the living room and cause discomfort. The NeatyFresh Max fan uses a humidity switch to control the fan to commence operation. The fan starts operating when the recorded humidity surpasses the selected value.

How Your Storm Dehumidifier Works
The Hurricane 850 dehumidifier /The Hurricane 900 dehumidifier utilizes its integral humidistat to monitor the conditioned space. Once conditions are outside the desired setpoint, the compressor energizes and air is drawn across an evaporator coil.

The evaporator coil is cooler than the dew point of the air so water vapor will turn into liquid condensation. The air is then reheated through the condenser coil and distributed back into the room.

Ezoic

Make fault judgment and take corresponding actions after starting up. Regardless of the state, the fault is executed first and the fault code is displayed on the interface. If there is a fault in the sub-menu operation, immediately return to this interface display fault (including the defrosting state).

(The fault is judged when the pump works and the fault is displayed as usual, but the pump needs to complete the water pumping this time). Multiple faults can be displayed at the same time.

Description of fault display:

  • Humidity sensor fault: when the humidity sensor unit fault or signal can not be transmitted, the fault is judged to be E1. The machine is out of operation (power on again after troubleshooting). The pump button can operate.
  • Ambient temperature T<2: When the sensor continuously detects the ambient temperature of inlet air T=2 degrees for 600 seconds, the fault is judged to be LO, and the whole machine is stopped. Other values correspond to the temperature region operation. (recoverable). At this time, the interface cannot be operated. The pump button can be operated.
  • Ambient temperature T245: When the sensor continuously detects the inlet air environment temperature T=45 degrees for 15 seconds, the fault is judged to be HI, and the whole machine is stopped. Other values correspond to the temperature region operation. (recoverable). At this time, the interface cannot be operated. The pump button can be operated.
  • When the compressor is started, if the coil temperature value detected is greater than or equal to (ambient temperature -3 degrees) for 30 minutes continuously, it is judged to be fluorine deficient (except defrosting), E5 is displayed, and the machine cannot be stopped for operation (It needs to be powered up again after troubleshooting). After the power is back on, the machine runs continuously for another 30 minutes for judgment. (The temperature probe is broken, the temperature needs to be minimal). The pump button can be operated.
  • After the pump works for 28 seconds when the high water level is switched on, the E4 fault is judged when the high water level switch is switched on for 3 consecutive seconds, and the E4 fault is displayed. The machine stops and cannot be operated (The pump needs to be powered up again after troubleshooting). The pump can be operated.

Preparing the Unit for Use

Setup

  1. Position the machine so there is a minimum of 8″ clearance for the back and sides. or directly to a specific location for spot drying. If the compressor didn’t remain vertical during transportation, wait a minimum of 30 minutes before turning the unit on.
  2. The included drain line attaches to the unit via a quick connection fitting that is located on the base of the unit. The drain line should be routed to a suitable drain or outside. Since the unit has an integral drain pump, the drain line may go up vertically (no more than 15’) before reaching the final drain location.

Integral Pump Maintenance

NOTE:

This pump requires routine maintenance that is not covered by your 1-year parts warranty. Only a defective pump will be repaired or replaced under the warranty.

As with all pumps, 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, float assembly, and discharge tubing.

The pump is designed with quick connection construction, making it easy to access the pump and components for service and maintenance.

To Remove Pump from Reservoir:

  1. Unplug the unit.
  2. Open the back housing as shown on page 12.Ezoic
  3. Remove the condensate tube from the pump.Ezoic
  4. Use the quick-connect fittings to disconnect the main power and float switch electrical cables.
  5. Use a flathead screwdriver to gently pry the pump off the reservoir.

At least once per year, clean your pump system.

Basic Pump Cleaning:

  1. Press the pump button (PURGE) to drain any water from the reservoir.
  2. Disconnect power to the dehumidifier.
  3. Mix a 16 oz cleaning solution of one of the following: 1 oz bleach / 15 oz water or 4 oz white vinegar / 12 oz water. Pour the solution into the drain tray at the base of the coils.
    NOTE: /If you get any cleaning solution on the coils, flush with water
  4. Allow the cleaning solution to soak for 15 minutes.
  5. Reconnect power to the dehumidifier.
  6. Pour clean water into the reservoir so the pump activates twice (about 16-32 oz. water).
  7. Repeat if needed or refer to Advanced instructions.

Advanced Pump Cleaning:

  1. Use the manual pump button (PURGE), to drain any water from the reservoir.
    • Unplug the unit, and remove the pump from the reservoir (See page 13).
    • Use a wet dry vac or paper towels to remove any remaining water from the pump reservoir.
  2. Fill the pump reservoir with a cleaning solution (15 oz water / 1 oz bleach or 12 oz water /4 oz white vinegar).
  3. Reassemble the pump and use the manual pump button to flush the mixture through the discharge tubing.
  4. Mix another batch of cleaning solution then pour it slowly into the drain pan under the evaporator coil and allow it to clean the hose from pan to pump. This process can be stopped when the pump energizes 1 time.
    NOTE: If you get any bleach/water mixture on coils, flush with water.
  5. Pour sufficient clean water through the drain pan so that the pump activates twice (16-32 ounces).
  6. Reassemble the unit and return it to operational status.

Cleaning the Coils

The coils on your dehumidifier also need to be cleaned once per year. To clean, simply spray with a self-rinsing, foaming coil cleaner (such as WEB Coil Cleaner).

FAQs About Abestorm Hurricane 850 Commercial Dehumidifiers

To what extent do commercial dehumidifiers work?

Space relative humidity can be reduced to 20% with a commercial dehumidifier. Wet objects lose moisture as a result of the dry air that follows. This approach is more efficient than utilising fans or an HVAC system to alternate between hot and cold air. It is also quicker.

What is the ideal lifespan for a business dehumidifier?

An industrial-grade dehumidifier typically lasts nine to eleven years. However, an appliance’s lifespan can be extended even further with proper care.

Can a dehumidifier be used in the winter?

One safe and efficient technique to reduce the wintertime temperature in your house without causing any damage is to use a dehumidifier.

What is a dehumidifier of commercial grade?

An appliance that lowers humidity to enhance the quality of the air inside your area is a business or industrial dehumidifier. Powerful commercial dehumidifiers can extract approximately 150–250 pints of moisture from the air each day.

How much does a dehumidifier cost?

As long as the device is extracting moisture from the air, warm or hot air coming from beneath or behind the dehumidifier is typical and a necessary component of the dehumidification process. The compressor is producing heat while it works to dehumidify the unit.

Can a dehumidifier be set to run on a timer?

If the dehumidifier has a timer function, it can be programmed to switch on or off after a predetermined period. The item can be programmed to switch off after a certain number of hours if it is turned on. In the same vein, it can be set to turn on after a predetermined number of hours if it is currently off.

I need how many dehumidifiers.

Divide the number of pints needed to dry the space by the capacity of your dehumidifier to get the required number of dehumidifiers (if you are unsure of your dehumidifier’s AHAM rating, consult the manufacturer’s website). The number of machines is represented by the computation’s outcome.

What is the duration required for a dehumidifier to function?

For a dehumidifier to fully dry out a space, it usually takes 24 to 72 hours. The dehumidifier must be used continuously until the humidity levels return to normal.

Where should a dehumidifier be placed?

To ensure that air can flow freely, we advise placing the unit at least 12 inches away from walls and other objects.

Are dehumidifiers sold in stores noisy?

In our tests, the loudest dehumidifiers were comparable to a box fan operating at maximum volume. However, the majority operate at a decibel level similar to a regular conversation or at a little lower volume, akin to that of a humming refrigerator.
