DCA has always provided the highest quality brand name, off-the-shelf, non-proprietary dehumidifier components, easily obtained from any quality refrigeration distributor. This is especially important when it comes to the control system. DCA has never specified proprietary controls on any of our products. This allows repair technicians the advantage of sourcing controls and many other dehumidifier parts from their local supply house, as opposed to waiting for the factory to react.
