My NEW A/C unit died a couple of months ago. The blower went out after about 1 year of service. Probably my fault. It sits in the same room as my sump, in the basement. Stupidly, I thought that it would be a good idea to put a vent and return in the sump/mech room to keep things cool and dehumidify the room at the same time.
Blower dead after 1 year. Cause, per A/C guy, "Salt corrosion of the blower motor. I could taste the salt." Cost: $600, or would have been, if the A/C technician had told the warranty company the cause. Thank you A/C guy!!
Guess that fan blowing across the open sump to cool the tank was not such a good idea...
Anyone have a good way of controlling the "sea air", while allowing the sump to be used as a cooling vessel? I'm wondering if I eliminated all the bubbles that float across the sump surface from the return pipe and skimmer return, if this would be enough to eliminated salt floating through the air.
In the mean time, I've sealed off the return vent in the sump room.
