Full details

This Dryzone bundle is for homeowners experiencing condensation, damp, and mould issues, particularly in properties with loft access and pitched roofs. Its key benefit is providing continuous fresh, filtered, and tempered air to significantly reduce surface condensation and prevent mould growth, while also offering a simple two-step mould treatment and prevention solution. A potential consideration is that the PIV unit requires loft access for installation.

FAQs

How often should I check the PIV unit's filter?

It is recommended to check the filter every 3-6 months and clean or replace it as needed, depending on the dust levels in your loft environment. This ensures optimal airflow and performance.

Can I install the PIV unit myself?

The PIV unit is designed for loft installation, but electrical connections should be made by a qualified electrician for safety and compliance.

How long does the mould treatment take?

The treatment process, using both the remover and sanitiser, typically takes under 30 minutes per affected surface area.

What is the warranty period for the Loft Cube PIV Unit?

The Loft Cube PIV Unit with Heater comes with a three-year warranty from the date of purchase.

Is the mould remover safe for all surfaces?

It is recommended to test the mould remover on a small, inconspicuous area first to ensure compatibility. It is designed for walls, ceilings, and other hard surfaces.

How noisy is the Loft Cube PIV Unit?

The unit operates at a very quiet level of 25 dB(A) at 1 meter, making it suitable for continuous operation without causing significant noise disturbance.

Does the heater consume a lot of electricity?

The integrated heater is designed to temper the incoming air efficiently. While it does consume electricity, its function is to maintain comfort and prevent cold drafts, which is essential for year-round use.

Troubleshooting

PIV unit not running

Check that the unit is properly plugged into a functioning power outlet. Ensure the circuit breaker is not tripped. Refer to the installation manual for electrical connection details.

Reduced airflow from diffuser

Check the PIV unit's filter; it may be clogged with dust and require cleaning or replacement. Ensure the ducting is not kinked or obstructed.

Condensation persists

Ensure the PIV unit is running continuously. Check that the loft is not suffering from significant heat loss which could counteract the tempered air. Verify the home's air leakage is not excessive, which could compromise the positive pressure. Ensure the mould remover and sanitiser are used correctly on any affected surfaces.

Mould returning quickly

Ensure the PIV unit is functioning correctly to manage humidity levels. Reapply the sanitiser after thoroughly cleaning the area with the remover. Check for any new sources of moisture ingress.

Heater not activating

Verify the PIV unit is powered on. The heater typically activates based on ambient air temperature; consult the manual for specific activation thresholds and ensure the unit is functioning within expected parameters.
