Drain Valves

Drain valves control the water flow in commercial or residential humidifiers. They work by regulating and directing the water flow within the system, releasing it outside of the humidifier. This helps overflow or buildup, which can have dire impacts on the system. Without proper water flow, moisture levels can increase and encourage mold growth, reducing humidifier performance and air quality. Water overflow can cause leaks which damage components within the humidifier itself as well as causing property or electrical damage in the surrounding areas. If this happens, you’ll have to deal with costly repairs to your property and costly humidifier replacements.

Drain valves usually last for 2-5 years before needing replacement. If your system uses hard water or has high usage, they’ll require replacement sooner than others. It’s is highly recommended that you performance scheduled maintenance on your humidifier systems and ensure your drain valves are working accurately. It’s best to identify potential clogs or leaks before they become serious problems.
