Grocery Store HVAC & Drain FAQs
How often should we replace condensate pan treatments?
CRT pan treatments typically last 30–90 days depending on site conditions. High-moisture or high-traffic stores may need more frequent replacement. Your rep can help set a tailored schedule.
Do we need Algae Guard® or PanGuard®?
Both products serve the same function. PanGuard® is the NSF Green line, often used as the budget-friendly choice for chain portfolios. Algae Guard® is EPA-registered for sites where compliance requires it.
Can CRT help with audit documentation?
Yes. We provide standardized SKUs, SDS sheets, labels, and spec documentation to simplify audits and chain-wide rollouts.
Will treatments affect food safety?
No. CRT treatments are designed for use in HVAC and condensate systems, not in direct contact with food. They help reduce water pooling and odors, supporting a safer shopping environment.
Can treatments help lower energy costs?
Yes. By preventing clogging and overflow in pans, our treatments help HVAC and refrigeration systems run more efficiently, improving airflow and reducing costly energy spikes.
