Thank you and congratulaons for choosing an EcoAir dehumidier to help you improve the air quality within your environment.
Inside you will nd many helpful ps on how to use and maintain your dehumidier eciently. Just a lile preventave care can
save you money and prolong the life of your dehumidier.
The purpose of the dehumidier is to remove the excess moisture in the air by detecng the humidity level in the room. By
keeping humidity within recommended levels, a dehumidier combats household damp, mould and mildew. Dehumidiers can
help to reduce the symptoms of asthma, allergies, and other respiratory health condions. They can also be used to help dry
laundry quicker and control moisture-based damage (such as the aermath of ooding, leaks or rising damp) to valuable
belongings and furniture.
HUMIDITY GUIDE
There will always be water vapour in the air. The water vapour (or commonly known as moisture) in the air is measured in
Relave Humidity (RH) %. RH is the rao of the actual amount of water vapour in the air to the amount it could hold when
saturated expressed as a percentage. Too much or too lile moisture in our homes can be unhealthy and uncomfortable. The
opmum humidity level is between 40% and 60% (RH) where we feel most comfortable.
Low humidity
Low humidity indoors causes excess drying which can trigger skin irritaons such as eczema, chapped skin and dry nose. It can
also damage possessions, such as wooden furniture, musical instruments and artwork by drying it out too much.
High humidity
High humidity indoors causes damp and condensaon. The damp le by condensaon can damage plaster, wall paper, furniture,
vehicles, mber windows, doors and clothes. It can be harmful to our health when bacteria thrives, causing mould and fungus.
Maintaining safe levels of humidity
It is important to maintain a consistent humidity range to preserve furniture, painngs, door and
window frames. High humidity causes swelling, corrosion, soening of glues and paint. Low
humidity causes shrinking, cracking, warping of wood surfaces and gaps in joints, doors and windows.
Frequent changes in humidity levels can accelerate damages to property and belongings.
Condensaon
The warmer the air, the more moisture the air can hold than colder air. So, when the air inside the house becomes colder, the
moisture contents in the air becomes saturated, and gets heavier
resulng in moisture concentraon on the coldest parts of the house parcularly on the windows, bathroom mirrors and walls.
This is condensaon, caused by a sudden increase in humidity, cooking, showers, drying clothes, inadequate venlaon and poor
thermal insulaon.
Condensaon does not disappear instantly even with the dehumidier on. Where excessive condensaon appears for example,
on your windows, you may want to open your windows to expel the excess humidity for several minutes. It will take a while for
the condensaon to generally increase the humidity in the room. Once the humidity level in the room around the dehumidier
is increased above the level you have set on the dehumidier, it will then begin the dehumidicaon process.
