    Why does the moisture indicator turn yellow on my SPX FLOW Hankison DH-165 Dehumidifier?
    • J
      Jamie StewartAug 7, 2025
      If the moisture indicator on your SPX FLOW Dehumidifier turns yellow, indicating elevated outlet dew points, several factors could be at play. First, ensure that you are not exceeding the maximum flow. Also, verify that the dryer operates within its design limitations. If these aren't the issue, the desiccant may not be adsorbing properly, requiring a change. In some cases, desiccant beds may be reactivated by running at reduced flow until the desired outlet dewpoint is achieved.

    What to do if the tower fails to depressurize on SPX FLOW Dehumidifier?
    • D
      Dominique CruzAug 12, 2025
      If your SPX FLOW Dehumidifier tower fails to depressurize to less than 2 psig, it could be due to several reasons. The purge rate valve might be open too far, so you should check the purge rate indicator setting. Other possible causes include a faulty valve, which may need repair or replacement of the muffler. For Models 370 and larger, inspect the pilot valve, pilot air line, and purge repressurization valve for any obstructions.

    Why is excessive purge air discharged from SPX FLOW Dehumidifier?
    • S
      Stephanie ChavezAug 17, 2025
      If excessive purge air is discharged during the purge cycle of your SPX FLOW Dehumidifier, it could be due to the inlet valve not closing properly or the check valve sticking. Check the power to the valve (pilot valve on Models 370 and larger) to determine if the valve or timer is at fault. Also, inspect the check valve for any obstruction. For Models 370 and larger, examine the pilot valve and pilot air line for obstructions.

    Why is desiccant being exhausted prematurely in my SPX FLOW Hankison DH-165 Dehumidifier?
    • D
      denisewilliamsAug 22, 2025
      If the desiccant in your SPX FLOW Dehumidifier is being exhausted prematurely, it might be due to an insufficient purge rate. In this case, you should determine the correct Purge Pressure Indicator Setting. Other possible causes include the need to replace muffler inserts, or issues with the valve or timer. For Models 370 and larger, check the pilot air line for any obstructions.

    What causes the tower to fail to pressurize in SPX FLOW Hankison DH-165 Dehumidifier?
    • M
      Maria FullerAug 28, 2025
      If your SPX FLOW Dehumidifier tower fails to pressurize to line pressure, it could be due to the purge repressurization valve not closing, possibly because of an obstruction. Another reason could be excessive downstream air demand. On Models 25 thru 260, the purge repressurization valve is normally closed. On Models 370 and larger, check the pilot solenoid valve and pilot air line for obstruction.

    How to fix indicator lights not illuminated on SPX FLOW Dehumidifier?
    • A
      Amy SalazarSep 1, 2025
      To address the issue of indicator lights not being illuminated on your SPX FLOW Dehumidifier, start by checking the voltage at the terminal board. Ensure the unit is turned on. If the lights still don't illuminate, consider replacing the switch.
