Venta LW15 - Frequently Asked Questions; Operational and Environmental FAQs

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
HOW DOES THE VENTA HUMIDIFIER HUMIDIFY?
The Venta Humidifier operates by the process of cold evaporation, so you will not see
any residue, vapors, or mists. The disc stack(s) rotates in the water creating a surface
area of over 45 sq. ft. (LW45). When dry air meets the surface area of the disc stack(s),
the water evaporates and is sent out into the room. By using the cold evaporation
process, any excess humidity can be virtually ruled out.
WHAT LEVEL OF HUMIDITY CAN BE EXPECTED AND HOW OFTEN SHOULD
THE LOWER HOUSING BE FILLED?
Under ideal conditions, a humidity level of 40-60 % can be expected. Some factors
affecting humidity level are heating/cooling, home insulation, layout of the home, air
circulation, and the amount of water in the appliance. For severely dry areas or during
the first days of use, you may notice the water evaporates more quickly, and/or a
lower humidity level will be reached. The water level of the lower housing should be
checked and topped off daily.
WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO RUN THE VENTA HUMIDIFIER?
Always! The Venta Humidifier is designed to be a year-round, 24/7 product. Because
we wanted it to run year-round, we made the power consumption as minimal as
possible. For the best results, your humidifier should never be turned off or stored for
long periods of time.
WHERE IS THE BEST PLACE FOR THE VENTA HUMIDIFIER?
If possible, the Venta Humidifier should be placed in the center of the room, or along a
wall away from windows and a heat source. When using your Venta Humidifier for
multiple rooms (larger model Venta Humidifiers) it should be placed centrally between
rooms. Allow 18-20 inches above and on either side of the Venta Humidifier to allow
air circulation.
WILL OPENING OUTSIDE DOORS AND WINDOWS AFFECT THE
EFFICIENCY OF THE VENTA HUMIDIFIER?
The appliance works best in closed rooms to maintain a consistent level of humidity.
Just as windows and doors are closed when air conditioning is running, doors between
rooms may be left open to allow for air circulation.
