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 the Hurricane 160P Works

The Hurricane 160P 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 the water vapor will turn into liquid condensation. The air is then reheated through the condenser coil and distributed back into the room.

Guidelines

Operation Notes

• Always make sure that the unit is operated, transported, and stored on a stable surface.
• For maximum efficiency, operate the unit with all windows and doors closed.
• Do not place the unit anywhere that may block the inlet or outlet airflow.

Drain Hose Notes

• The Hurricane 160P is equipped with an external drain line connection, making it easy to plug in.
• The drain line can be directed outside or into any sink, drain, etc.
• For more effective draining, uncoil the entire hose before using.
• Never place the end of the hose higher than 15 feet.
• Always ensure that the drain hose is not blocked before use.

Transportation Notes

• Always secure the dehumidifier during transportation.
• If the unit is transported vertically, return it to a normal horizontal position, and let it sit for 30 minutes before using.
