PREVENTING CONDENSATION
Interior condensation is caused by excess humidity in your
home. Enclosed Treatments do not cause condensation,
but are a good indicator of humidity levels that are too
high. Keep in mind that new homes release moisture
from construction materials through several heating and
cooling sessions. To the right is a quick guide to
appropriate humidity levels:
If your door glass has interior condensation, you should be
able to control it by reducing the humidity level in your
home (for example you could reduce or eliminate humidifiers). You can also help limit the potential for
condensation by removing the filler strips located on the sides of your Enclosed Treatment frame (see step 1 for
removal instructions). By removing these filler strips you will increase the airflow between the enclosed treatment
unit and your door glass.
Condensation does not indicate a defect in an Enclosed Treatment unit and will not damage your Enclosed
Treatment unit.
