Dehumidifiers aren't cheap. They do have priceless benefits for those who need them. They work, quite simply, by reducing the level of humidity wherever they're placed. With less moisture in the air, damp walls will be able to dry out while mould and mildew should become a thing of the past. The very latest compact dehumidifiers, too, are tackling the issue of price. These are increasingly affordable. Once considered the preserve of those with collections of fine art or classic cars, today they're more and more popular. A damp bathroom can lead to mould and all the expense ultimately of a possible refit. A dehumidifier can seem like a wise investment.
Here are some of the best dehumidifier models currently on the UK market:
Follow these simple steps to properly use a dehumidifier. Always, of course, read the owner's manual before setting up the dehumidifier. They are all a little different, particularly when it comes to when, how and if you need regularly to empty the tank.
Place the dehumidifier where you want it to do its work removing moisture.
Check that the water tank is empty. Desiccant dehumidifiers may also require a regular change of the absorbent materials they use to remove moisture.
Make sure doors and windows to the outdoors are shut.
If you model has a humidistat, set it to the level of humidity you want, expressed in a percentage. If not, then switch the dehumidifying unit on.
Leave on until desired level of humidity has been reached.
