Dehumidifier Unibond Aero 360 Pure Moisture Absorber System Chemical (1 x Pure Tablets Pack 2's)

Product Information

Every type of humidifier and dehumidifier has upsides and downsides so speak with a Champion first. If you're using a dehumidifier for much longer (perhaps on a permanent basis, because you live in a damp basement), you'll also need to study how much power your machine consumes. The best measurement in this case is the efficiency of the machine (sometimes called its energy factor), which is how much water it removes divided by how much power it uses, measured in liters (or pints) per kilowatt hour (L/kWh). What about the wattage?

The Pro Breeze is great if you’ve got a smaller space and you want something that doesn’t cost a lot to run,” says expert Kandola. “It’s probably about a penny an hour.” Wheels/castors These could come in useful if your dehumidifier is heavy – they can weigh from 6kg to more than 16kg.

For a bathroom, you should position the dehumidifier just outside the bathroom door and ensure the door is left open so the unit can draw the moist air towards it. If you’re drying clothes, just place the dehumidifier in the room, making sure the door and windows are all closed.The warm air passes over freezing cold pipes through which a coolant circulates. (Note: We've simplified this part of the machine quite a lot. It's like a mini air-conditioner or refrigerator endlessly circulating coolant with a That will be especially useful over the winter months as it means you won’t have to keep your heating on as long to dry your clothes, reducing your energy bills in the process,” says Chris Wood from Aircon Direct. Dehumidifiers are the best way to reduce humidity in your home and many are cost effective and energy efficient. They range from bathroom dehumidifiers to compact ones for your car and even ones you can control from your mobile phone. Small dehumidifiers are ideal for flats or smaller spaces, while the bigger models can dehumidify a five-bedroom property or a small business space. Integrated cord storage This is handy for saving space when the dehumidifier isn’t in use, and removes the risk of tripping over a sprawling cable. Don’t get too excited about this dehumidifier’s smart capabilities. You can connect it to your smartphone or tablet via Bluetooth, but the app is little more than a glorified remote control with only basic scheduling features and no way to integrate with existing air quality meters you might have hooked up. That aside, it’s a well-designed and effective dehumidifier, capable of extracting up to 20 litres per day into a larger-than-average six-litre tank. We found this surprisingly easy to remove from the rear of the machine when full, with a built-in handle for carrying.

The cold evaporator coil of the refrigeration device condenses the water, which is removed, and then the air is reheated by the condenser coil. The now dehumidified, re-warmed air is released into the room. This process works most effectively at higher ambient temperatures with a high dew point temperature. In cold climates, the process is less effective. Highest efficiency is reached above 20°C (68°F) and 45% relative humidity. This relative humidity value is higher if the temperature of the air is lower. [5] If you’re pulling out 15 to 20 litres per day, the dehumidifier needs to have a tank with the capacity to handle it or you will be emptying it out every few hours. Three litres is the absolute minimum, while five or six litres will give you a bit less emptying to do. Is there anything else worth looking out for?

There are links between damp homes and asthma, although it's uncertain whether damp is a cause or a trigger for asthma caused by other factors. (House mites tend to thrive in damp homes.) percent water—but that doesn't mean our homes should be like fish tanks! High humidity can cause all kinds of Heat-recovery ventilation (HRV): How can you ventilate your home without letting all the valuable warmth escape? HRV uses heat exchangers to bring in fresh air without wasting heat. If you’re only planning to dehumidify occasionally – for a few hours here or there in a kitchen or bathroom, for instance – you can get away with a mini-dehumidifier with an extraction rate of less than one litre. It will be cheap to buy, cheap to run and perfectly effective. The same applies if you’re trying to fight damp or mould in a smaller area, such as a wardrobe, utility room or box bedroom. The cost of one kiloWatt-hour of electricity is capped at 27p under the Energy Price Guarantee as of October 2023. Although prices do vary by region and contract (economy 7 tariffs are more expensive by day and cheaper by night, for example), we use the capped price to estimate running costs.
