Sour, Musty or Stale Exhaust Air Odor

Air blown out of the rear port carries a noticeable musty basement smell, sour spoiled water stench, or dirty pet hair odor instead of clean freshness.

Possible Causes

Bacterial and fungal reservoir sources inside water vacuums:

  • Dirty Water Left in Basin: Water sitting overnight turns stagnant, creating massive anaerobic bacterial colonies.
  • Mildew Inside HEPA Pleats: Microscopic damp spores colonizing the rear filter matrix over time.
  • Slime Build-up Behind Dynamic Separator: Trapped wet pet hair rotting inside the motor intake scroll baffle.

Diagnostic & Check Steps

1. 每次使用完毕立即倒掉脏水并冲洗干净水箱;2. 拆下离心分离器刷洗背面齿槽;3. 拆卸后盖检查 HEPA 滤芯,若发黑或发酸立即更换;4. 若机器机身内部散发异味请预约全机超声波深度除垢除味整保。
