# 80% of breakdowns are as a result of a dirty filter

Wet, dark conditions provide the perfect environment for the growth of microorganisms.The slime grows quickly, left untreated multiple issues are quickly created as bacteria loves dust! As dirt accumulates on the filter, air can't pass, the motor has to work harder.As the slime grows it will completely block the condensate line, causing the pan to overflow and the air conditioning will break down.

Dirty air filters affect the air quality and can exacerbate symptoms if anyone in your family suffers from allergies or asthma. If you have a pet, dander accumulates in the system and then spreads allergens throughout the household. White slime will be found in in the drain line, evaporator pan and condensate pump.
