drain pans act as an amplification site for
microbial growth and dirt. Sheets of fungus
(mold) literally cover this drain pan. Microbial
growth proliferates while the drain pan accumulates
dirt and other incoming debris. Left unchecked,
buildup continues and drain lines are plugged
with this biological soup? Overflows cause water
damage to property, ruining items such as carpeting,
books, walls, and other important things. More
importantly, the water contains fungal and other
microbial matter, and contaminates areas of
contact.
Overflows
present an ongoing problem for all drain pan
systems. High humidity conditions, failure to
clean the drain pan frequently, and a high percentage
of outside air introduction contribute to problems.
Stagnant
water in drainpans contributes to microbial
growth. Stagnant water occurs where drain pans
have hills and valleys in the pan so that the
pan may not drain properly. Improperly installed
pans, where one end is lower than the end with
the drain, capture water and allow it to not
flow out properly.
EPA
registered ALGAE GUARD uses controlled release
technology to introduce a broad spectrum anti-microbial
into the drain pan, controlling microbial growth.
Contains surfactants and cleaners to keep the
pan clean. Three or six month guarantee. Available
in selected states.
