To ensure long term use and the best performance, it is important to prevent liquid damage and particulate damage by using a Water Separator when drying hardwood floors and using the Inline HEPA filter on the intake of your machine any time it is running.   The Water Separator is included with every purchase of a Floor Drying Package (order # HP-Plus-FDP and HP-60-FDP). It can also be purchased separately (order # WS).   The Interceptor HEPA filter is ordered separately (order # INF01).  ...

Author: Felicia McEwen When drying a hardwood floor over a crawlspace, the Injectidry HP system inadvertently pulls air from the space below into the home. The Interceptor is necessary to eliminate the possibility of cross-contamination by stopping potential contaminants (such as insulation fibers, dust, and rodent feces particles) that are drawn through the flooring during the drying process. It also protects the blower from cross-contamination from one job to the next. It is important to note that the Interceptor is not intended to replace a HEPA air Scrubber, which is used to process ambient air and control the air quality in the...

Some engineered flooring is inexpensive and cheaper to...
