Smell from PIV unit but not in the loft

This is a bit of a weird one. We had a DRI-ECO-HEAT-HCS Nuaire Drimaster Heated PIV installed in January 2025. We initially had a bit of a loft smell but that dissipated quickly and the unit has been working great since. The past week, we've noticed this god awful smell coming into the house but only during the evening. It smells like dead fish and is vile but the loft itself does not smell of the dead fish. The smell is not present at any other time of day. Surely it can't be the filters have just 5 months, but I have no other ideas what could be causing it. submitted by /u/beatfreakman [link] [comments]
