TIPS ON WHEN TO USE YOUR PORTABLE DEHUMIDIFIER 

 

If you have respiratory problems,

 asthma and allergies, your Whynter Portable Dehumidifier is a great option for 

controlling moist environments. Creating dry air can keep indoor air pollutants at a more manageable level, espe-
cially when used in conjunction with an air purifier. Using your portable dehumidifier can help you save money in the 
long run because it uses relatively little power and can help furnaces and air conditioners operate more efficiently. 

 

 

1.

 

Excess moisture 

 

Indoor environments with excessive moisture can cause mold and fungus to thrive inside the walls and be-

neath the carpet. Many types of mold are potentially dangerous and can lead to health problems. This Whynter 
Portable Dehumidifier reduces the amount of moisture in the air inside a home, which makes it far more difficult for 
harmful mold to grow. This portable dehumidifier is also effective for a small area, such as a hallway or bedroom.

have respiratory trouble or allergies. This unit can also help relieve symptoms by controlling the relative humidity 
inside your home and a good idea in general if your home has

 such underlying problems as a leaky foundation walls 

or inadequate ventilation

 or if you live in a humid area. By keeping the relative humidity indoors below 50 percent, 

you can keep allergy

-inducing dust mites and mold from thriving.

Basements 

 

If you have a basement that is below

-grade, you should use your Whynter Portable Dehumidifier. This de-

humidifier will help you keep the moisture levels in your basement down to manageable levels. By doing this, you 
can help keep your indoor furnace operating efficiently and even help eliminate minor standing

-water problems. 

Your portable dehumidifier also can help keep furniture and valuables dry, and it will help keep electronics in proper 
working order.

and, thus, your thermostat under control.
