Dehumidifier by inhaling moist air, condense it into the water in the machine, which is stored in a bucket or removed with a hose. Be aware that stored water is prone to bacteria and should be drained in time.
In most parts of the country, there are significant differences in indoor and outdoor humidity. To prevent outdoor moisture from affecting the interior, close the doors and windows when running the dehumidifier. In addition, you can place the dehumidifier where humidity is highest—for example, your basement and bathroom. And in terms of humidity setting, the ideal humidity is generally between 30% and 50%. Because when the air humidity is below 30%, it feels dry; When humidity is above 50 percent, it can feel very humid. It is terrible for anyone with respiratory problems. Humidity also needs to be adjusted seasonally. In summer, the weather is hot and humid, which is suitable for dehumidifier operation. In cold winter weather, the water collected by the dehumidifier can freeze and damage the equipment. And when the temperature is below freezing, consider using a charcoal desiccant dehumidifier.
