Condensation is often mistaken for a leak in Treatment Equipment
I hear about it every Summer. Usually it is from new customers that aren’t experienced with their Water Treatment Systems yet. When the warm humid summer air touches the cold Treatment Equipment the humidity condenses into water. The result is usually a puddle at the base of the Tanks. For more information regarding condensation please visit our website at www.secondwindwater.com .
In order to slow down the condensation process you have to slow down the air circulation around the tanks, and/or reduce the humidity within the air. This means closing all basement windows and doors. If the Water treatment is in a closet keep the closet door closed. Wrapping the tanks and plumbing with closed cell foam really works well. Installing a dehumidifier is also a good option.
Never blow a fan on your Water Treatment Equipment. It will only make the situation worse by increasing the humidity that comes in contact with the tank. I actually had a customer once who had us install their Water Softener in a closet. Once the equipment was in they had a contractor sheetrock the inside of the closet. The contractor told them to blow a fan into the closet so that the sheetrock would dry. With the closet door open and the fan blowing on the Softener Tanks in August it sure made for one big mess. Finally I convinced the Customer to close the closet door and to replace the fan with a dehumidifier. In less than 4 days everything was looking good.
